We had a wonderful stay in Milko and Mariella's apartment. Located in the heart of Ortygia, it is metres from the sea and a beach, and a two minute walk to the duomo and main piazza and cafes, trattorias, and other shops. The apartment has everything that you need and is spotlessly clean. Milko provided excellent directions and a list of recommended restaurants, cafes, gelatterias, ans things to see. We had several conversations with our hosts in the small courtyard. We would definitely stay here again when visiting the Syracusa area.
