This apartment is beautifully furnished, a brand new renovation. very spacious and a lovely kitchen.Lots of windows make it light & bright even on the rainy days. The few difficulties I experienced were quickly solved by the host. Great location in Ortigia- easy to walk both into town as well as to the historic sites on the island. Be aware though - the stairs are quite difficult- the initial flight up is very old and worn down (hard on the knees). Once inside the renovated apartment the stairs are narrow but new and well made.
