We had an excellent stay at this beautiful apartment in Ortigia. The area is wonderful to walk around in at night; full of artsy shops and great food. Francesco and Mafalda graciously left my new wife and I a bottle of champagne and flowers as a congratulations and Alberto made the check-in process very smooth. There was no need for extra cash at check-in, that may have been done previously before the owners were familiar with the AirBNB deposit process. Just beware that when cooking you may have to turn some lights off in the rest of the house as the electrical breakers are sensitive. All in all, a great stay!
