We had a lovely time exploring Ortigia and Syracuse from Desiree’s apartment. We had a car and were able to park at the complex but we did need help figuring out how to do it. The apartment is clean and stylish inside. You have some bite of the harbor but it is limited. The apartment is great as is the location and communication with her. We recommend it and appreciated that it was easy to walk to the island and not worry about parking or traffic. Thank you!
