Even though Concetta and her husband were very sweet to pick us up at the bus station, we were extremely disappointed with this apartment, in fact we only stayed for 2 hours before going to find a hotel!

The apartment had an incredibly overpowering damp smell and was quite uninhabitable. We are really not talking a little musty, rather an awful all permeating dankness that apparently the owner "doesn't notice". We've lived in London for many years in damp Victorian buildings so we're really not too fussy about a bit of moisture, but it was so overwhelming we really couldn't bear to stay.

Concetta's pictures also paint the apartment in a much better light than reality. The main 'window onto the sea' is a small barred and padlocked window onto a noisy road, quite unlike the photo. The rest of the apartment is dark and dingy, with barred windows, really not what we were expecting. The only plus side is the location which is great, and the price which is cheap. So in short; if you want a cheap, damp and dark place to stay in Ortegia, pick this.
