This apartment was perfect for our girls' trip. First and foremost, Marta was very responsive and accommodating. She was flexible with our check-in time and was thorough walking us through the apartment and making sure we were all settled before leaving. Marta even assisted us later in the week by calling to schedule us a cab to get to the beach since the service we called answered in Italian. It was greatly appreciated since there isn't Uber and we didn't see a lot of taxis to hail.
There were four of us and we slept comfortably (2 to a room) and really enjoyed our stay in Ortigia. The apartment was extremely clean and offered great amenities: a washing machine, great hairdryers, blackout shades [the sun rises on the side of the apartment with windows so make sure to lower them before bed if the sun wakes you!], a lovely balcony, panoramic views, etc. The location was great too! Ortigia is relatively small, but we were near the water, and right upstairs from great restaurants and a fantastic market. (Be sure to pop downstairs and order sandwiches from Caseificio Borderi!) Restaurants and shops were only a few minutes' walk away, and the area felt very safe and homey. We were very happy with our choice to stay in Marta's apartment and I would highly recommend it to anyone heading to the area. Thank you again!!
