Do not hesitate to book this apartment if you are planning a stay in Ortigia! Manuela is a very responsive host, the location is great, the deck is a wonderful spot for breakfast, appetizers, sunrise and sunset. Being able to do laundry is another bonus of staying here. Note - lots of steps up to the apartment and then more to the second floor of the apartment -- the reward is getting to have that view and relax on the deck. So glad we stayed here.
