POSITIVE : this airbnb is very close to the parking area in Ortigia (there’s only a specific area where it’s allowed to park in the neighborhood), convenient for those who have a rented car.
NEGATIVES: 1) Dirty. When we arrived there were dirty dishes inside the dishwasher, dirty dishes in the drying rack, greasy pans, greasy everything in the kitchen, dirty oven, very dusty towel hangers in the bathroom, dirty floor, lot’s of dust in the wardrobes and even the bed. We communicated with the owners and they arranged a cleaning the next day which made it a bit better, but the apartment needs a serious deep cleaning. On the last day, not surprisingly, we encountered a huge cockroach on the kitchen top, and no, the kitchen door had not been left open.
2) Noisy. We can hear the neighbors very loudly as well as the cars in the main street. Not recommended for the light sleepers.
3) kitchen. Lacks utensils for being able to cook properly, there’s only one chopping big knife that doesn’t cut anything and this would be only the start. This would only be a problem if you intend to cook, obviously.
