The location is perfect for exploring both Siracusa and Ortigia! Everything is walking distance. We liked that the apartment is on the first floor because no stairs and it’s a quick in and out.
The apartment was very very clean, too :)
One more thing: as an American, I didn’t realize that most Italian apartments do not have fire alarms or fire escapes. This is the only Italian apartment I’ve stayed in so far that I felt safe, even without a fire alarm. The front door is *literally* on the side walk, so you can exit in 2 seconds.
