Sandra`s place has a very good location, nice neighborhood and you can reach everything very fast. Her appartment is very chic, she has chosen small details to make the appartment a home. Even though the bed looked very nice, it is very noisy, jaring with every move. So during the first night we decided to sleep on the couch, what was definetly okay as it is a very large sleeping-couch.
The whole appartment smelt and felt a little humid, towels dried very slowly, but it stayed quite cool during the day, so we didn't have to use the air-con often.
For cooking I recommend bringing your own stuff like oil, vinegar, pepper and other spices as we just found salt (and coffee) in the appartment. With your prepared meal you can go sitting on the veranda, what is very nice :)
Sandra herself is a very friendly, totally welcoming, warmhearted person, she was very nice, answered fast and was always there for questions, we liked her a lot!!
For Siracusa I can recommend to rent a car as there is not heaps to do in Ortiggia and if you want to reach the nice places and beaches around, you definetly need a car!
All in all we enjoyed our stay in Sandra's home, grazie mille Sandra :)
