The apartment was spacious and in a great quiet location in Ortigia. I was, however, disgusted with the way our "host" Emanuele spoke to us regarding the preparation of seafood in the apartment . It was an honest misunderstanding and he was rude and disrespectful. I contacted him privately to let him know the cleanliness of the utensils was not up to standard and he verbally attacked us. In our 42 years in business we have NEVER treated our customers in such a manner. WE WERE HIS GUESTS AND PAID FOR THE FULL USE OF THE APARTMENT. We left it clean and undamaged and he didn't even have the decency to come and farewell us. I understand there are rules but we are respectful people and had every intention of cleaning the kitchen PROPERLY and deodorising the apartment. There was no reason for the host to treat us like naughty children. Now he will have to deal with the effects of a scathing review.
