The flat is as described and wonderful. The location is great for both night life and restaurants nearby or to walk to Ortigia. The view from the bedroom watching the sunrise over the water was a nice plus. Parking for our rental car could not have been easier, closer, or safer. We used the Hop on Hop Off bus to tour Siracusa and Ortigia and there is a stop 3 minutes from the flat. Marcello was great and answered questions I had prior to arriving, provided us a list great information, and provided some niceties in the flat. Note the flat has beautiful marble circular stairway so one needs to make sure you are comfortable going up and down to and from the bedroom. Net/Net: would go back to Siracusa and Ortigia and stay at Marcello's again in a heart beat.
