We stayed for 5 weeks in the apartment. It is in a characterful courtyard of an old building in a fabulous location, close to the water, the Temple of Apollo, the food market and via Cavour. There is a supermarket just round the corner. The apartment is as per the photos, clean and well equipped with kitchen utensils etc. You can glimpse the water from the terrace which you access from the stairwell shared with the very friendly lady downstairs who has the nice natured dog. As we were there in July, when it was pretty hot, the roof terrace was best in the early morning and evening. There is AC in the bedrooms and living room. Yulis and her husband responded very promptly to all our queries and requests, and left us a generous breakfast basket, drinks and basic supplies. You will probably want to buy bottled water as the tap water in Siracusa tastes terrible, something about salt water in the aquifer. Fortunately it is only €2.5 for 6 x 1.5 litres from the shop round the corner. Ortigia in summer really does have a captivating atmosphere, we will return!
