Gorgeous apartment in a great location, about a ten minute walk to Ortigia.
The whole building, with four other Airbnb apartments, has clearly undergone a recent refurbishment and has been furnished beautifully. Everything is very fresh and mostly unused, particularly in the kitchen. Check in is simple and coming and going is very easy. If you have a car there is quite a bit of street parking and we didn't struggle to find a space.
We had planned on using the local markets for ingredients to make some lovely meals but the kitchen isn't geared up for it at all . There is a microwave but just one plug-in hob ring. It meant that we felt we had to eat out all the time which was a bit of a shame. This probably explains why nothing in the kitchen has ever been used. There are plenty of amazing places to eat out though and I would imagine that most guests would probably make the most of those rather than cook anyway.
There was a bit of unpleasant confusion on check in. I had booked the two bedroomed apartment and paid accordingly but was told on check in that, to actually use the second bedroom, I would need to pay a supplement. A bit of a misrepresentation on the listing but hopefully that will be changed. Tourist tax was also expected in cash on check in.
We stayed in late Sept 2022 and there was some serious construction work going on next door. It's fine if you are heading out for the day, every day, but possibly worth checking with the host... obviously it'll stop at some point!
