The apartment provides a comfortable place to sleep. There is air conditioning in each of the rooms. The place is clean. The location is about a 20 minute walk to ortygia which is a great place to be near. However, the location is also 20 minutes to the other historical sites on the main land . The host was very helpful making herself available when we arrived which is extremely helpful when arriving to a new and unfamiliar place . There are places nearby to buy groceries and a couple of very good bakeries for delicious morning cappuccini and Italian pasties .
