Great location, although ortigia is very small but his place is close to lots of restaurants the piazza you can walk anywhere. The apartment was great for 2 people, very clean and new. Never actually met Francesco but he was still very helpful whenever we had a question. Loved the little terrace, it is shared but no one was out there, this was in March though so to them it was chilly, too me it felt nice to sit out the it was 65 degrees at the time. So many little places to eat and get dessert, took a little boat ride around one day which was nice as well. Overall great stay!
