This is a simple, but clean and comfortable, apartment, which is not on the main island of Ortigia in Syracuse, but about 15 walking minutes away. The archeological site (Teatro Romano and Greco) is about 25 walking minutes. The nearest interurban bus stop is 10min away, and the train station, although only about 1.5km in distance, is about 25 min away, since you have to circumnavigate it to get to the entrance. Deni, the host, is wonderfully responsive, always writing back within minutes, and met us at the door as arranged. The apartment is good value, not being in the fanciest part of town. It also has a washing machine, so it would be a good place to stay for 2 days to wash clothes and enjoy the sites of Siracusa (we only stayed 1 day, which was too little).
