Paolo's place is one-of-a-kind. You benefit immensely because he uses the apartment himself pretty often. This means the interior design + amenities are much better than usual, as things are catered more like a home than an airbnb. Speaking of which, the modern design is pretty spectacular for the area. Very luxury. Everything is also super clean and taken care of.. and Paolo is readily available and very kind. The location in the "Guidecca" happens to be my favorite areas of Ortigia.. it's super central allowing you to be mid-way between the Duomo/the popular Fontana Aretusa, and the entrance to Ortigia. Also worth mentioning, there are two good supermarkets a stone's throw away, and on via Guidecca you'll find a great "bakery" for pizza by the slice, sfogia, arancini etc (Antica Giudecca), a great little ceramics shop for authentic ceramics from Caltagirone (Angelo's), plus a great restaurant (Oinos). I couldn't have had a better stay. Enjoy!!
