This is a lovely apartment in the heart of Ortigia. Alessandra was an amazing host. She and her son picked us up at the train station and dropped us off there when we left.
The apartment is well situated, close to most everything. And Alessandra explained where the stores and restaurants were. She responded quickly when I messaged her with a question.
The apartment is cozy for two people, and the kitchen was well equipped. We were able to easily make dinner one night which we enjoyed on the terrace with the bottle of wine that Alessandra left.
I would say that the stairs coming up into the apartment are old, well worn, and not level. Plus there is no banister. This was not an issue for us, but I do know people who it would be an issue for.
I would definitely stay here again.
