The apartment is absolutely lovely! The location is great, just a couple of minutes from the center of the Ortigia island and around 25 minutes from the train station in Syracuse. The island itself is gorgeous and walkable from one end to the other. The apartment looked like the photos and even exceeded our expectations. It is very homey and beautiful. The building it is in, is absolutely gorgeous. With a gorgeous inner courtyard and beautiful staircase. The host - Carola, was very helpful from the beginning and the communication with her was very easy and quick. The check-in and check-out process were also very easy, she gave us clear instructions and we checked in and out on our own. We definitely recommend the flat!
