Marco was by far the best host we have ever had! He picked us up right at the bus station and greeted us with dinner and small cakes! He seems to know EVERYONE in Siracusa and was so excited to show us around. Unfortunately, we got sick but it was all ok because the apartment is so cute, clean, and comfortable (like living in an Ikea catalog, in a good way!). Marco also offered nicely to bring us medicine or food while we were sick and even brought us even more delicious small cakes! He is INCREDIBLY energetic and if you love nightlife you will have a willing partner in crime. We would recommend him to anybody. The apartment itself is small but very well designed and decorated and in a convenient place in town. The internet, water, and appliances worked well, and the kitchen is stocked with basic cooking tools. If you're in Siracusa, you should plan to buy bottled water to drink, because the tap water is not drinkable. This was a great experience and we would love to come back!
