We had a wonderful experience at Francesco’s. The flat is filled with light and beautifully decorated. When we met Francesco, he offered succinct but very comprehensive directions and recommendations for our stay, which we greatly appreciated. It’s a nice touch to have a variety of drinks and snacks available for purchase, and the location is terrific both for exploring Ortygia and visiting the nearby ruins. One small problem for light sleepers is that there is some street noise, but Francesco had earplugs available at the bedsides. We cannot recommend it strongly enough.
