It was a true pleasure to stay in Lilia's House, a comfortable studio with all amenities you could ask for (including a nice bottle of Syrah ;-) ). It really is situated right near the bus and train station of Siracusa, and a 10-15 minute walk away from Ortygia, the historical city centre.
Marco is everything you'd expect from an AirBnB host and a lot more: charming and extremely helpful. He and his nephew picked us up from the train station to help with our luggage and checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was OK. He even provided us with details of where we could catch some live music in the evening. Even though we were too tired after a long day of sightseeing, it was greatly appreciated that he remembered we were interested in this. I will be in no doubt on where to stay during my next trip to the Siracusa area!
