Mario is a superb host, He was gracious, helpful, thoughtful and generous throughout our stay. His communication is excellent. The apartment is spacious and extremely well and thoughtfully equipped (he even supplied special baby soap for our toddler).It is also well located with Ortigia and all places of interest easily accessible by foot. Mario's recommendations for things to do and good restaurants also proved excellent, I would thoroughly recommend him to all as a 5 star host,
