Marcello is a great host and the most helpful person you can imagine! Not only did he offer to drive us from the train station to the apartment, but he was always fast to reply to messages and fix any minor issues we had with the apartment. He also provided lots of useful tips about Siracusa (only one thing - go to Le Vin de L'Assassin and skip Osteria Mariano!). The apartment itself is very comfy and nice, with a well-equipped kitchen. It's also literally 2 minutes on foot from the sea :) Just round the block, you'll find Taverna Guidecca (with great pasta, antipasti and wine) as well as Antica Guidecca (a deli with tasty takeaway local food) - both recommended! We enjoyed our stay at Marcello's and we'll be happy to come back :)
