"Casuzza" is a great place to stay for a few days in Syracuse. It's quite small but well-equipped. Definitive pros: great communication with the owner; location; comfortable fold-out bed; kitchenette; large shower. Cons: probably due to ground floor and thick walls the apartment is a little bit dump; street is quite narrow but occasionally can get loud due to passing motorbikes; no wardrobe (there is no place for it :), so longer stay could become a little cumbersome. At the end of the day we fully recommend Cassuza for a short stay on Ortigia.
