Mario's place is an excellent starting point for each tourist site in the city as well as for getting in and out of town. He met us at the railway station and gave us full list of directions about where to go, eat and what to see, writing and marking on a small map. The flat is great! It was easy to find parking. Going out for the evening and getting back is easy, quick and safe. I would highly recommend Mario's place to everyone who goes to Syracuse!
