This is a brilliant value apartment and Paolo was very nice and helpful in our online communication. It isn't in a dream location, but I knew that when booking so I am not complaining at all. The area, while not a regular tourist area, is very safe and it is right next to the cool looking modern church which is a landmark of the town. It is about 20 mins walk from the train station or to Ortigia which is the old town/touristy area. The only other downside is the wifi wasn't perfect, but I still managed to work OK during the week when I needed to. Apart from that, everything is excellent for the price. A cosy space, comfortable bed, powerful shower, fully functional kitchen. Thanks Paolo!
