Wonderful host who made check-in and ongoing communication a pleasure. Overall, the apartment was a bit disappointing so I'm sharing some feedback.
Positives
- Very clean and well-managed
- Great bathroom and shower
- Good kitchen and kitchen equipment
- Good air conditioning and airflow
- Central location makes it easy to walk around Ortigia
Negatives
- Very little or very cheap effort put into furniture. Barely a couch in the living room. Only the bare minimum requirements and nothing more.
- Very little or poor effort put into the aesthetics of the apartment. It is disappointingly reduced to cliché phrases on the wall and bright colors and a generally incoherent theme.
- VERY loud at all times of the day. The apartment is on a busy main street as well as a loud side street in back.
- Uncomfortable mattresses and bedsheets. Again, just no effort in making them nice at all.
- It's clearly just a rental apartment with no real personality and minimum effort.
- I recommend to the host to hire a proper interior designer and to invest a little bit to make the apartment better
