Aurelio (and his sister Simona) are real first class hosts. Everything from communication prior to my visit to check in, assistance with booking tours, transports etc. was fast, friendly and qualitative. With a balance between professional service and familiarity, they really did everything to make my stay one of the best experiences I've ever had trough Airbnb. Unprecedented.
The apartment is stylish, clean and a perfect place to experience Catania, mount Etna or Taormina from. And with some of Catania's best restaurants just 100 meters from the apartment ( on Via Santa Filomena), going out to experience the local food scene is very easy. Even though the apartment is centrally located we were never bothered by sounds from the street or neighbors and always managed to get a good nights sleep in the comfy beds.
Thanks to Aurelio and his sister my first time in Sicily was a real hit.
