Me and my boyfriend stayed at Alice's apartment on our first trip to Sicily. It was a good place to start. The description is accurate. The apartment is well located. It is walking distance to such local attractions as Greek theatre ruins and Catacombs. However, to go to Ortigia, we do recommend you drive.
Apartment is clean, spacious, and modern. It is bigger than shown in pictures.
There is a dishwasher which was convenient and saved us a lot of time doing the dishes. The apartment does not have a washing machine but Alice would pick up our laundry and get them done within a couple of hours, so that was fine. A nice touch were beach umbrellas that were available in the apartment to take with you to the beach.
I have to say that Alice and Giorgio are very nice, friendly, and accommodating hosts. Alice responded promptly to all my messages and gave good recommendations about the city (restaurants, shops, beaches, etc) . She also connected us with Mirko, a taxi driver, who lived in our building and spoke good English, that was very helpful.
Overall good experience.
