I had an aboslutely outstanding Airbnb experience in this cosy flat during a full week in May 2016. It is decorated with a very personal touch - a perfect place to relax in between discoveries in the lively, culinary heaven of a city that Catania is, with its beautiful surroundings. The location is perfectly central and safe also for a solo traveller (next to the central commerce street Via Etnea and the police headquarters) and at the same time away from the street noise, since it was on the top floor of the building with windows facing the courtyard/other flats (yet with relatively protected view, with privacy). Just be aware that neighbors' voices at normal speaking level can be heard quite clearly through the walls, which means also yours will, but this was not a problem since there was an overall respectful atmosphere in the building. The bed ia great night's sleep for sensitive backs, while the bathroom is a gorgeous, refreshing oasis. There are a coule of stairs (no elevator) and all in all three doors to get to the flat from the street, but Giulio was very helpful with my luggage when I arrived. Which brings me to the host/s: so kind and attentive throughout my stay, yet discreet. A highlight of my stay was to attend the dress rehearsal of Bellini's La Sonnambula at Teatro Massimo - all thanks to Giulio's kind family who went out of their way to make this happen for me just in time before I had to take my flight the same evening. Mille grazie di quest'esperienza straordinaria!
