Silvana is a great host! She gave us the opportunity to check in early in order to leave our bags and go for an early walk in Ortigia. She also supported us in suggesting Talete parking where we left our car, which is 12 mins walk from the apartment.
The place is sparkly clean and nicely decorated. Silvana makes an extra effort to make you feel welcome by offering great coffee, sweets and juices, which made our day! The only negative note is that the apartment is a bit dark and it's situated just next to the entrance door, so you can hear people coming in and out of the building. Although there was a party nearby the night of our stay, this neighborhood is generally very calm and quiet and above all the bed is very comfortable and invites a good night sleep. The location is great, just a few steps from the water and other major touristic locations. Overall great value!
