Emanuele is a very kind and attentive host. He took care of any issues promptly and with a smile. When we discovered there was no outdoor space suitable for drying clothes, he immediately ordered an electric drying rack which worked perfectly. Emanuele also speaks good English, which was very helpful. The cosy apartment is ideal for short stays. It's so easy to keep cool or warm, having two excellent aircon units. The wifi is very fast and reliable. Free parking on the street directly outside, we never had a problem finding a space. The apartment is within walking distance of everything you need, including food stores, bakeries, cafes, pizzerias and pharmacies. The island of Ortigia is only 20 minutes' walk, and within 5 minutes you will find a fantastic coastal walk/cycle path. We enjoyed our time in Siracusa, grazie mille Emanuele.
