We really enjoyed our stay in Marco's appartment. He is an amazing host and invited us for icecream and coffee when we arrived, showed us arround the area and provided us with useful tips on what to do in Syracus and Sicilia in general. In the appatment there is even a self made guide book with travel tips and pictures.
The appatment is very nice and cosy. However, as it is located directly at a big street it is quite loud at night. Moreover, there is an automatic air freshener which makes some wired noise every 30 min. I would therefore recommend to turn that off at night.
Appart from the noice, the location of the appatment is great, as it takes only a frew minutes to walk to the island of Ortiga and there is also a supermarket right next door. The appatment is great value for money and we would definitely want to stay at one of Marco's appartments again at our next trip to Sicilia.
