We stayed at this apartment with two young kids. Location is perfect, short walking distance to the daily market, restaurants and the rest of ortigia. You can park quite nearby too. No cars in the street, so nice and quiet. The apartment is bigger than in looks split over two floors. Slightly steep stairs outside as well as inside the apartment. All the basics are in the house as well as extra blankets and heating, it was quite cold in april. Communications with host was easy. I would highly recommend this place as a base to discover Siracusa and surroundings.
