The loft is located in a working class neighborhood with plenty of parking and up one steep flight of stairs. It is about a 20 minute walk to Ortigia. The place itself is pretty roomy, though the pictures make it look larger than it is, especially the kitchen area. The living and dining room are large and had a large balcony over the street. The bedroom above the living room is comfy and spacious, but the second "bedroom" is a doorless mezzanine up a ship's ladder staircase with no handrail and right over the single bathroom with a pretty loud toilet. There wasn't much room for luggage in the mezzanine, nor did we feel confident to climb up or down the ladder with a suitcase, so our friend opted to sleep on the couch instead; the bed was also very hard. The kitchen is decently stocked, though the drawers tend to open/close poorly and some faces/knobs fall off at random. The water is technically drinkable, but we found it too salty/oily and opted for bottled water at all times, especially for tea/coffee. The single bathroom is roomy enough, though it doesn't have a fan or a heater. We were surprised by the number of issues overall, some of which had been reviewed last year and not addressed, which is why my review score is lower than I would have liked to leave. However, the property owner and managers were very nice and communicated often and well, and the apartment itself has potential to be even better; the small issues we thought they could fix immediately were done the same day, which we appreciated. I would say that it's a good place for one couple or one with kids, but a third+ adult using the mezzanine bedroom should be very agile and ready to literally climb up and down to the bedroom and the terrace. We had hoped to eat on the terrace, but we couldn't figure out how to get the food or drink up there easily.
