What a great place! My boyfriend and I loved our stay. It was very easy to park just outside of Ortygia (only €10 a day) and Valeria and her husband took us to the apartment (it's only a ten minute walk). The neighborhood is amazing within beautiful views, cool little alleys and great restaurants. The apartment was clean and adorable, at the back of a quiet little nook. If you stay, there is a great wine shop just next door where the owner Salvatore is very helpful. Valeria was a great communicator and a wonderful host!
