Alessandra's apartment was perfect for our stay in Ortigia. It's in the heart of the centre but still on a quiet street so we felt like we had a peaceful stay. We were able to go and eat in many restaurants nearby with a fussy toddler as we didn't need to walk far. The apartment was spacious and clean and has a nice rooftop terrace. You do have to climb some stairs to get there. Alessandra and her son were very helpful and welcoming.
