The apartment has an absolute good location, which allows you to access the different areas of the city easily. We had two small kids(4 and 2) with us, so we walked basically to everywhere, and it is doable. The apartment is close enough to a nice playground, and a lots of caffés around, and food possibilities. It is also just right besides the nice old area of Siracusa, Ortigia, where we went a lot for walks, icecreams and sunsets. The host Mario is very warm hearted, always reponsed before no time, answered our questions very patiently and explained everything we needed to know. He has also good recommendations for places to eat and to go.
