Excellent location, brief walk from both Ortigia and the archeological parks as well as the main road through Syracuse where there are loads of restaurants and bars. Food carts at the end of the street were also good! Apartment was a decent size for two people, we didn’t spend much time there as we were out and about so I do t know about kitchen equipment but it had everything we needed. We were met by Luigi’s father and uncle who were very welcoming and helpful. There was also free parking on the street outside the apartment.
