This is a smart, well-equipped, apartment in a good location. It is ten minutes walk to the old city, Ortygia, and the view from the fairly spacious balcony over the harbour was really lovely. Parking is easy, free and secure in a locked car park right by the apartment. Simona's friend, who gave us the keys, was very helpful, and so was Simona when we met her later. And Simona's mother, in the adjoining flat, was charming.
