Sandro's place has pros and cons. Let's start from the good points.
1)Good location.
The place is 20 min walking from Ortigia, which is a small island on the sea connected to Siracusa by a bridge. It's really beautiful and full of shops and valuable restaurants.
2) The view.
Sandro's place is on the 7th floor with a very nice view on the little port. Guests can also use the roof terrace w and from there the view is just breathtaking.
Cons
1)Lack of air conditioning in the bedroom.
As this flat is located at the last floor and the roof is basically an empty terrace (no tiles) the bedroom gets really hot during the day. You've got airco in the living room but one is not enough to cool down the entire apartment. In the bedroom you have only a small electric conditioning system that is not as efficient as a proper airco. The first 2 days of our stay were a nightmare. The temperature reached 37° Celsius both days so in order to get some sleep we had to sleep in the living room. The heat in the bedroom was just unbearable. To be honest, in the following days when the temperature decreased we had a very nice stay at Sandro's place. We slept with open windows and we could enjoy a very refreshing sea breeze from the port. I personally believe that nowadays as summer is getting hotter and hotter you need airco in the bedroom.
2) The bathroom should be refurbished.
In the bathroom the shower needs to be replaced. As the bathtub tap is old and full of limescale sometimes it's difficult to pull it up to use the shower.
Overall, we had a nice stay at Sandro's place. There are little things that need to be fixed in order to improve guest experience but if these things are fixed we would definitely go back.
