Alberto's place is right where you want to be in Siracusa/Syracuse, a stone's throw away from the sea in a rather quiet side street off one of the two main drags (read: pedestrianised streets with shops and restaurants), 5 to 10 minutes' walk from all of the main sites. The flat has everything you need, even for cooking a proper meal. Alberto was also very kind and personally stopped at the bus station on his way home to enquire about ways to get to Ragusa, since the trains were not running due to a national holiday.
