The appartement is in a fantastic location for discovering Ortigia. Everything is in walking distance, small shops, restaurants, sightseeing highlights. The house is situated in a quiet but safe side street and seems to be in a part of town that is working on reclaiming a lot of the historic houses. Communication with the host was easy and friendly. The appartement is one of four in the same house. It's clean and very modern. In fact, the interior aims to be so stylish that it might even appear impractical in some cases. But then again thats just a question of taste. We found the water pressure to be a bit poor but that seems to be a general problem everywhere in the city.
