Daniela's apartment Casa Paola is a lovely space to stay in, nice and clean and with cool, tiled floors. The apartment was quiet at night, and we kept cool thanks to the air con in the bedroom. We particularly liked the roof terrace with the sound of the sea, and its views over the sea and of the southern tip of Ortigia, and we spent a lot of time up there. There was a good supermarket, Gusto, in via Maestranza, not too far away, and it was only a short walk to the main Piazza Duomo. It was a great location overall, except it was rather a long way to get to both the train station and the buses. We went to the open market to buy fresh fruit and veg on the Saturday morning, and it was very busy but great fun, with lots of fantastic produce. We cooked in the apartment 4 nights out of 5, and found it was well equipped for cooking, with an efficient gas hob. There was an electric oven as well, which we didn't need to use. Daniela was unfailingly helpful in her responses to emails, and we had good directions for getting into the apartment. We would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you're after a nice outside space and like cooking.
