Nice and spacious apartment, well air conditioned, quiet and complete with stocked fridge on arrival which was much appreciated. Excellent location as well, being only 5 minutes walk from Oritigia one way and 5 minutes walk to the bus and train stations the other way. Mario was very helpful, responding promptly to emails, and his mother, who greeted me on arrival as Mario couldn't make it, gave a good introduction to Syracuse, was very welcoming and provided recommendations of places to see and eat. An enjoyable stay in Syracuse.
