The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures, except the views were probably better.
We were greeted by Simona's friend Corrado and he was very helpful and informative and when we had any questions he was quick to respond. All communication was outstanding.
The apartment was well equipped and even though no oven in the kitchen we were able to make do, Simona even left some food and drink for our stay.
It was an easy and pleasant 15 walk into the centre of Ortigia and Syracuse archaeological areas. The on site parking was easy to access.
We have stayed in a lot of Airbnb's and we would definitely return to Simona's apartment.
