Diego's apartment is a fantastic space in an ideal location, easy walking distance to restaurants/bars in central Catania yet set quietly just off a main street (on the airport Alibus route).
The coast can be reached on foot in around 20-30 minutes while there is a bus service to the main Catania beach after a similar walk. Though we enjoyed all our time the highlight must be the Ancient Theatre of Taormina (accessible via an hour bus ride from the bus station), simply not to be missed. Stunning.
As a host Diego was superb. He allowed us to drop our bags at the apartment while cleaning was in process and then, on our return, took time to recommend places to visit, answer any queries and even offer to help in the booking of any trips!
Communication in general was swift and easy, Diego made us feel very welcome and is a fantastic advert for the Airbnb experience.
Thanks Diego, we wish you all the very best for the future!
