The location truly is great, right by Via Etnea with its many restaurants and shops, and practically across the street from the beautiful Bellini park – great for exercising and enjoying the scenery. Communication with Elio via AirBnb messaging was excellent and check-in with Uccio in-person was very easy. He’s very nice, showed us around the apartment, how to use the stove and lock the apartment door, and he gave us recommendations for Catania as well as southeast Sicily. We went on the Etna Est excursion recommended by Elio & Lisa and it was awesome; We made an early-bird reservation online and it was probably the best value for price and experience of any activity we did during our time in Sicily!
