Mario's place was a great choice for our stay in Catania. It is very close to the train/metro/bus station which was convenient for our early morning return flight. It is also walking distance (15minutes) to the center of town. There is a small veranda, and we had fresh coffee and water in the kitchen for us to use. He also provided us with fresh towels, soap and shampoo and a hairdryer. Mario was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. He was very quick to respond and give us any information we had from the location, where to eat, and how to get to the airport. I definitely recommend.
