The apartment is well located in Ortigia with plenty of space. It was easy to walk to all of the main attractions in the city and close to the markets. Much of Ortigia is pedestrianised and not accessible to vehicles. However the apartment was not far from a street accessible to vehicles so we didn't need to cart our luggage too far.
Being there in the middle of summer we appreciated the air conditioning which was a welcome relief from the heat outside when we returned home.
Our host spoke good English and was happy to provide recommendations for restaurants, sight-seeing and other local information.
We were in the middle of a long trip, so having a washing machine available was great.
We travelled with our adult daughter so this was an excellent and much cheaper alternative to a hotel.
