My flight into Catania was delayed, however Claudio was exceptionally accommodating in welcoming me to his property late at night.
The two bedroom apartment was well equipped, including a washing machine, rooftop terrace, Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
The location of the apartment is only minutes walking to the main streets of Catania, as well as the bus station and ports. Claudio sat down and showed me the best local facilities to visit, including coffee, seafood restaurants, the historical centre of the city and the beaches.
Providing you're happy to climb the stairs (there are 66 of them, and this is forewarned in the apartment posting), Claudio's apartment is one I would definitely recommend and would consider staying at again should I visit Catania in the future.
