Alessandra’s apartment is the best! It is a spacious loft apartment with the bedroom upstairs. The apartment is one floor up, and there is an elevator. Comfortable bed, plenty of room, and the bathroom is huge with a bathtub/shower combination. The kitchen even has a small dishwasher. The location couldn’t be better. Walk across either of two bridges to Ortigia Island and the big open air market, you are in between the 2 bridges. The apartment is one short block to either bridge and about 2 blocks to the bus stop where a tourist bus takes you to all the major destinations. The bus is 1 euro, or 3 euro for an all day pass, free for kids and seniors over 65, (June 2019.) Alessandra was super nice, friendly and welcoming, and full of suggestions that we used. We loved it here and will be back some day!! Thanks Alessandra, we miss Siracusa already!!
