The location of Mario’s place is tremendous. We were able to find parking every day (eventually!) and it was wonderful to be able to walk in and out of Ortigia so easily.
The bathroom, to me, was the most beautiful room in the apartment. It’s huge and well laid out. The bedrooms have good space for storage and the individual air conditioners work well, although two of them need to be emptied if they run all night - just a heads up if you’re not used to doing that yourself. When we were there Mario was travelling but arranged for a friend to help us with the check in. She was really kind and helpful and met us when we came in.
Unfortunately the main refrigerator was not working (they said due to the high heat of summer) but he had put in a second little fridge for us. It didn’t work very well and froze anything we put on the second shelf but we recognize that Mario tried to make sure we at least had something. We found the beds comfortable but wished for newer bedding and towels. It was great to have a washing machine in the apartment. The place sleeps 6 comfortably but there is really no suitable common area. That wasn’t a problem for us, as we were out and about every day and there were only two of us but a bigger group or family might feel that lack of communal space.
We had a lovely time in Mario’s place and recognize how much effort he puts into making sure you are taken care of.
Thank you Mario and Clara!
