We enjoyed our time at Daniela’s place very much. Daniela was quick to respond to all my questions. The self check-in was very simple. The apartment is simple and gracious. The kitchen is simply equipped with a range, and oven and a Bialetti coffee maker. No microwave or US type coffee maker. There is also an upstairs kitchen which made it nice not to have to take dishes up and down the narrow circular stairs to the terrace. The bathroom is a little small, but there is nothing to be done about that.
One note: this apartment is on the 2nd floor (3rd floor if you are American) and there is no elevator. The entrance to the apartment is also quite narrow.
The neighborhood is very convenient - a lovely small grocery store nearby sells fresh bread every day and makes outstanding panini, as well as selling all the ingredients you might want to make your own. The cafe next door to it does almond granita, cannoli and, of course, coffee. We were welcomed at both places.
Ortigia is a beautiful place, with the sea at arm’s length and history going back over 2000 years.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Daniela’s place. Grazie!
