We had a beautiful stay, right on an amazingly atmospheric narrow street in Ortigia, one minute walk from the market and temple of Apollo. Wonderful 2nd floor space with own bathroom and private balcony. Large curtain separates space from stairs so there's no door as such but it was totally private and peaceful. It's a fantastic arty space with high ceilings. Being in the centre of town it'll likely be a bit noisy with local Sicilians talking as they walk along the street in the early morning but we laughed at hearing the conversations as we lay in bed. Irina was super-friendly and brilliant too.
