We loved the apartment. The building next door was undergoing renovations and we were a little concerned when we saw the ongoing construction, but we were completely unaffected by that (no noise, dust, or any other issues to speak of). The apartment is great, exactly as described, in a perfect location to enjoy the amazing island of Ortigia. Communication with Cristina was excellent, she gave us great tips for making the most our stay (including a list of tried-and-true restaurants that we followed and absolutely loved). Highly recommended, look forward to coming back!
