Emmanuel's apartment is in an excellent location in Ortigia, it's very big with everything you could need. I stayed for almost a week and was able to cook the kitchen every day to cook meals. The only drawbacks were the broken shower doors, a bit of a moldy smell from the washer because it is always kept closed, and the fact that you really can't keep any windows open if you want to be able to sleep or work in peace. The main bedroom faces the street where just below the apartment there's a restaurant with a super loud owner which sits outside and speaks very loudly all afternoon, and during the night drunk people pass by yelling. The apartment at the building in front was also going through renovations and to my surprise, the also lasted during the weekend. The other bedroom faces another restaurant's kitchen area which means it is filled with cooking oil smells if the window is open. I resulted to sleeping with earplugs.
