Jan’s place is clean, comfortable, spacious, and in a great location near (paid) public parking (very important in Ortigia) and lots of restaurants. The hostess, Lynette, met us to check us in, show us around the apartment, and make recommendations for places to eat. There were small toiletries and a bottle of sparkling wine for us. The big bed in the master was very comfortable, and the two twin beds in the other bedroom would be good for kids (or another couple). The sea views from two rooms are beautiful. The apartment is about 20 steps up from the street, but the steps are wide and level. You’ll hear some noise from the road outside the master bedroom and living area, but we didn’t find it too bothersome. We didn’t spend any time on the patio overlooking the courtyard, but it was peaceful and quiet. All in all, a great stay.
