Because we liked Ortigia so much we decided to stay the last 3 nights of our holiday again in this lovely town....
So looking for a last minute we booked this apartment. In general the place is nice, and done with a lot of taste.... but definitely has a few things that we didn't like so much.
To start the kitchen is so poorly equipped that you can't even find a tin opener, a decent knife or anything else then bare basics,this could be solved by spending 100 Euro by Ikea. We stay a few nights in our own places to know guests might need.....
The other point is that you are on the ground floor and that there is no such thing like a private outside space, but opening the front door right up on the street,so it feels a bit poky....and on the sleeping room there is no window, but a not so sound proof wooden shutter, which lets the noice through as if you were sleeping right in the next doors ally. You also have to be aware that, and we are used to this living in the same climate, ground floor places are more likely to get scorpions, and I think as a host you should make this clear to unaware tourists. We catched one.....
