The biggest value of Mariella's apartment is its location: half a block from the ocean in the historic section of Siracuse. The unit itself is clean, with a well equipped kitchen, but minimal sapecewise and with little natural light. The bedroom does not have windows. The patio is in poor condition and not as seen in the pictures. Mariella is a fine and gracious host. One HUGE issue is parking. A true nightmare in that part of town.
