Marta is an excellent host and my 4-night stay in the apartment on Ortigia couldn’t have been better. I was prepared to walk to the apartment, which is about one mile from the train station, but Marta’s father picked me up and drove me over. The neighborhood is a mix of restaurants, shops and cathedrals, all contained in a maze of very walkable streets. Marta’s place is just steps away from several good eateries. Marta provided restaurant recommendations and sites not to be missed. During my visit it was very hot, but the Apt stayed cool. I would stay here again.
