From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel truly at home. Pablo's mom is very personable and hospitable. We stayed there only for 1 night but felt welcomed. There is a double bed and a pullout sofa bed which is very very comfortable- tried and tested. When in Ortigia, getting lost in the ancient streets is a must and this apartment is very central - we walked back to the apartment several times during the day. Parking is available at one of the designated parking lot, very close - I suggest getting the exact address of the lot (something we missed). Try to give Ortigia more than a day ... it is truly a spectacular place. Also - if you are vegetarian or vegan, try out this place called MOON - Move Ortigia Out of Normality. Great apperitivo with live music.
