Ortigia is a terrific town! Nice shops, yummy restaurants and gorgeous views of the sea. The apartment was in a fantastic location. Very large, up two flights of stairs. Not quite as pictured on airbnb, terraces are sparse and not set up like photos. We were instructed that we could carry out crates and mattresses if we wanted to use them. Not an easy task, so we didn't bother for our two day visit. Air conditioning worked well and view was lovely. Svetlana was an ok host, but not the best we've experienced by far.
