We enjoyed Carmela's little apartment, although we stayed only one night. It is walking distance to the island ortigia so perfect for sightseeing, and is situated in a quiet neighborhood. We loved to be able to make our own coffee and use the kitchen for cooking. We stayed with two people so there was plenty of space. If you're tall you might not fit under the shower since the second floor has a very low ceiling. Communicating with carmela went smooth owing to Google translate. Recommended!
