It is hard to find enough words to thank Massimo and his family for hosting us! We really feel that we found new friends! We were 4 people staying at Massimo's place - 2 kids, my husband and I. Massimo met us at the airport (and then brought us back!!!), helped us with our lagguage, showed us a bit of a city center on the way to the flat. Massimo did everything and even more to make us feel comfortable at his place and in his city. The flat has great location, very close (in a walking distance) to major sites, and attractions of Catania, it is situated right in the heart of the city (Massimo was always ready to help us, providing us with his recommendations, directions and any information we could possibly need, he is much more than just a host). We had enough space for all of us, since there are 2 bedrooms with 2 beds in each room. Near the flat there are many cafes and stores, some are open late. The flat is close to the Via Etnea street where all the stores and restaurants are located. We also walked to the beach from the apartment, but if you don't like walking, you can use the bus. Our overall great experience was not limited just to the flat itself, but we had great time spent together with Massimo's beautiful family and his friends, as they took us out several times, showed us the city and they way they live, and treated us as the closest friends! Our memories of Sicily and Catania will always be connected with Massimo's family - as they are wonderful people, caring, friendly and open-hearted. Thank you, Massimo, you made our time in Catania unforgettable!!!
