Our family of 6 stayed in Maita's place and we had a great time in Ortigia. The location is a perfect way to see the island without much effort. It is right in the middle of all the restaurants and shopping. We met with Elena who checked us in and helped us find a good place to park our large van. We had some trouble with the air conditioning and unfortunately it didn't get fixed until the last day of our trip. Thank goodness the other units cooled the whole place fine. It is located behind a private door which is shared with a restaurant so you do have to walk through the restaurant to get to the apartment. It is clean and simple and everything you need to make yourself feel welcomed.
