Our stay in Syracuse in Alberto's apparment was nice. The appartment is quite pleasant, but :
1) the appartment is smaller than what we expected from the pictures.
2) the bed is really, really bad. The head and feet are up, the center is down, and there is a slope from the side to the middle. Besides, the pillows were very stiff.
The very good thing about the appartment is its position in the city. It is close to the center of Ortygia and close to the free parking area, for those who have a car.
