Piero's place is wonderful in all aspects. It's not noisy, well equipped, very spacious, clean, warm, and comfortable with enough privacy for more than one couple. It's really taken our trip to a whole new level.
As soon as we got there, Piero welcomed us and then spent about half an hour patiently explaining everything I needed to know about the apartment and about Catania and was so kind as to treat us to some food, knowing it would be too late for us to stack up!
Unsurprisingly, Piero's place is a real gem. Located a stone's throw from the sea and within a 5 minute walk to the central train and bus stations, and the metro, it's not noisy, well equipped, very spacious, clean, warm and comfortable and perfect for exploring Mount Etna, and other east coast towns.
The historical center and a big Lidl are within a 12-15 minute walk. There are lovely cafes, pizzerias, paninerie, bakeries and pasticcerie and more. We'd love to come again!
