We had an amazing weekend in Syracuse at Salvatore’s place. First, he is an incredible host, who answered all our questions quickly, met us at the apartment and explained everything clearly (in English!) let us check in a few hours early, provided a crib and high chair for our baby, and gave us great travel tips. The apartment is super close to the island of Ortigia, but thankfully just outside of it which means it is accessible by car. We were able to park for free right outside the apartment, instead of having to park in an expensive garage as we would have needed to if we stayed within Ortigia. And even though the apartment is on a main street with lots of shops and restaurants nearby, it was very quiet so we had no trouble sleeping. Highly recommend Salvatore as your host in beautiful Syracuse!
