The apartment has the most amazing view of the boats coming in and out of the harbour and it is in a great central location in Ortigia. We could walk everywhere and saw all the beautiful sights in Ortigia and Syracusa. The apartment was spacious and well maintained, we found the bedroom comfortable and the kitchen well equipped but surprised there wasn’t a kettle. Also, we had to request a clean coffee percolator as the 2 provided were mouldy. A used replacement percolator was dropped off promptly-thank you. The water pressure in the ensuite was too low to run the shower and the bath ran at a trickle. We gave up trying to use these and used the shower next to the kitchen downstairs instead, which worked well. The photographs are accurate, but 'the terrace' mentioned off the bedroom is actually a tiled roof which you would not stand or sit on.
We did not use the air-conditioning unit but at frequent intervals in the day and night there was a very loud humming sound from a unit just outside the bedroom window, we found this disturbed us during the night.
To note, the apartment is on the top floor (no lift) and there isn’t an outdoor light by the front door when leaving the apartment to go downstairs in the dark. There is a timed light however for coming home and it stays lit if you climb the stairs swiftly. We have always enjoyed the personal touch when renting with airbnb but this was lacking with Wonderful Italy who were more business like than dealing directly with an individual owner of an apartment.
