Location is excellent (very close to Apollo Temple) and in a quiet part of Ortigia. The host had two booklets with plenty of information on Siracusa, Ortigia, historical sights, dining, and a variety of other information that was very helpful. The apartment was very sufficient size for two people but due to the very cold weather in early March we were not able to use the excellent outdoor space (one space just off the kitchen and a larger space on roof top) which is the main feature of the apartment. The rooftop terrace had great views of Siracusa. The apartment was good value, clean, amenities adequate though basic. The check in was very smooth, Gaetano was waiting for us at the street level and Lorena very responsive. We were disinclined to use the upstairs bedroom due to the cold and a slight musty smell (I am sure it is better in the summer). We would definitely stay here again when the weather is warmer.
