5 star stay! In summary: the apartment is brand new, spotlessly clean, and spacious. The apartment is REALLY well located -- maybe 5-10 minutes on foot to each of the train station or the Archeological Park, or 10-15 minutes to Ortigia. You have use of a fully equipped kitchen with plenty of counter space and a large refrigerator. The kitchen/living area includes a couch that seats two and a table that seats 4, as well as a small balcony. There is a separate laundry nook with washer and sink area, in addition to a fairly large bathroom (with normal-size shower stall). In the bedroom, there is a spacious wardrobe with hangers and drawer space. The bed is large - bigger than a double bed. Sheets, towels, even laundry supplies were provided. Absolutely everything was fresh and crisp! The wifi was quite fast and simultaneously accommodated multiple connected devices. There are bars, pastry shops, pizzerias, and a grocery store in the immediate area of the apartment. We truly felt like we were living at home and had all the comforts and the ability to spread out and relax. Also importantly, the hosts are fantastic. They are warm and had great attention to detail, from check in to check out. In fact, Marco even met us on arrival at the train station and offered to drive us on the day of our departure! Also, they repeatedly reached out to ensure that we were seeing the best of Siracusa and gave us some great insider tips on museum opening times, market stalls to hit, pastry shops to try, etc. You can truly tell that they are putting a lot of effort into their airbnb venture. Do not hesitate to book, this one is sure to become a favorite.
