Very big and comfortable en suite room with a big bed on the first floor - some might find it not private enough, as just a curtain separates the staircase from the owners' apartment below. Our time keeping coincided with theirs and so we didn't mind this. The balcony overlooks one of the typical little streets in Ortigia, which was quiet. Coffee and pastries provided for breakfast. There are lots of restaurants and cafes to choose from very close to the apartment, plus a market. (Shop around if you are on a budget - some prices are touristy!). Irina & Luigi made us very welcome and helped us with all we needed whilst we stayed with them. The apartment is in a good location for exploring the island of Ortigia and also Syracuse. A little tricky to find, so print off a good map - also if you have a car, get some directions for where to park - there are also one way systems and some streets are not wide enough for cars. (In Sicily, there are different coloured parking spaces; blue is paying, white is free and yellow for residents). The apartment is a short walk from the parking areas. We enjoyed our three days at this place - recommended.
