This was our first time using airbnb and Mariella's apartment was a wonderful introduction.
The apartment was bright, spacious and of course elegant; it was just a "stone's throw" from the sea; and there was even a grocery shop on the ground floor of the building. In short, it was the perfect base in Ortigia!
The apartment was exactly as described on the website except for that fabulous terrace featured in the photographs which has nothing at all to do with this apartment!
The only negative issue we had was that the lights in the entrance hall and stairway were not working while we were there; and as the stairs comprised of old, unevenly worn down steps, it was very difficult negotiating these in the dark.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay in Mariella's apartment, and would not hesitate to recommend it.
