We had a very pleasant stay in Alessia's apartment. The apartment is freshly refurbished, clean and has everything needed. We used the washing machine and the ironing facilities. Even the detergents were provided. The kitchen is full of utensils needed for cooking too. The supermarket is 3 mins walk.
Alessia was away from the country so we mainly communicated with her friend Fabio, who was extremely helpful - he has met us at the station and showed as a shortcut way to the apartment (5 mins), was always ready to answer any questions and was willing to store our luggage. He really did go out of his way to help us and we highly appreciate it.
The location is great if you would like to explore Noto, Ragusa, Modica and Fontaine Bianche (wonderful beach) since the train and bus stations are very close. Ortiga can be reached by 20 mins walk. The apartment is also closer to the archeological area, whereas getting from Ortiga every time might be time consuming since the buses (No.1&2) do not always follow the schedule. Thus, by staying in Alessia's apartment you won't need to worry about being late for the intercity train.
I would highly recommend staying in the apartment for anyone!
