Giuditta and her family were very helpful and excellent at communicating. This apartment is newly renovated and is very nearly perfect - I don't think it has ever been lived in and so the more feedback given by Air BnBers the sooner Giuditta and her husband can add the little extras :) The kitchen is spacious and we were greeted with cooled Sicilian wine in the fridge. The apartment has an alarm if you are anxious about any of your belongings but we chose not to use it as our other stay in Ortigia had not had one. The best thing about it is the location - it is on a quiet street but 1 minute walk from the swimming platform and also 1 minute from the heart of Ortigia. Just to warn you that we got no phone signal in the apartment but did from the street outside.
