Yulis’ apartment is huge — it took a day till I stopped getting lost inside! It’s nicely furnished with a well-equipped kitchen and some appealing decorations and artwork. And it’s very well located in beautiful Ortigia, just a few steps to a supermarket, one block to the port and gorgeous walk along the sea, a couple more blocks to the fish and produce market, and surrounded by bars and restaurants.
We stayed during a few very chilly winter days, so didn’t get to enjoy the terrace, but it must be great in better weather. Because of the cold, we found the bathroom and kitchen slightly uncomfortable — but the bedrooms were warm and cozy, with extremely comfortable bedding.
Yulis and her husband were kind enough to pick us up at the bus station and carry our bags up the stairs. They left us a bottle of wine and a large bowl of fresh fruit. Excellent hosts.
