Carola's place is lovely, and very conveniently located in Ortigia, which is beautiful to stroll around in. It has a very nice floor plan, with a loft for the bed, which was more comfortable than our bed at home. Carola was very responsive and speaks very good English and German. The apartment is located inside of a very interesting, and beautiful old building - very quiet. There is no view from the apartment, but all you have to do is step outside to be right in the middle of the prettiest part of Syracuse.
