My friend and I stayed at Max and Antonella's place for one night. It was seriously beautiful. So characteristic, in a great location, quiet yet close (walkable) to shops and restaurants. The flat was very clean and comfortable! Max was very efficient with communicating, before we arrived up until we left. Antonella, met us when we arrived to check in and explained everything we needed to know. Though spoke very little English, and us no Italian, we managed to understand each other just fine! She was very helpful and sweet! Grazie mille Max and Antonella :) We had a lovely stay in Ortigia.
