Mario was a great host. He met us for check in and helped us carry our bags. As most places in Italy, there was no elevator/lift and this rental was on the 3rd floor. The apartment was perfect for our family of 6, and each bedroom had it's own wall A/C unit that was perfect for the summer heat. The bathroom was large and the shower was very nice/newer. Mario was very responsive and provided great local recommendations and hooked us up with a reservation at a great local restaurant. The apartment is located near the island of Ortigia, just a short walk. Also near many restaurants/cafes. We were only there for one night, but would definitely recommend for a stay in Siracusa!
