We stayed in Simona's place for 4 nights. It's the perfect apartment for a stay in Syracuse. It's only a 5-minute walk to the bridge to Ortigia. We had parking for our rental car just outside the apartment building which made things very easy.
The apartment is very clean, the shower has great pressure. Simona had stocked the fridge with water and orange juice for us.
The best part of the apartment is the balcony. It gives you a really nice view and the sun shines on it from sunrise to 4pm and overlooks the harbour and all of the boats. We recommend getting up at 6am for the sunrise as it is amazing.
