A sweet little apartment in a great location in Ortigia. The roof terrace is the big draw and it actually looks better in real life than in the pictures. There's a big table, a huge sun umbrella and some sun loungers up there. You can just see the sea over the edge of the wall. There is a 'mini kitchen' (hotplate and sink) up there, but otherwise everything needs to be carried up the spiral staircase from the living room. In spite of this, we ate every meal up there.
The apartment itself is simple but all you need for a short stay. The air con and the wifi were both excellent!
There are a couple of flights of stairs up to the apartment and then the (indoor) spiral staircase is small and steep and so this apartment probably wouldn't suit anyone with very small children. Or anyone that cannot do stairs well. For us (two adults and two older children) it was perfect. The location is superb. Close to everything. Lovely little shop opposite (open til 9pm) and also a great little fish and chip place.
Parking is difficult (driving to the apartment through Ortigia is also quite tricky - hold your nerve and trust Googlemaps!) We dropped the cases off (Daniela lives next door so she let us in) and then went off to Parking Talete and left the car there for two days. It's about a 10-15 min walk away but gave peace of mind that the car wouldn't be towed away. You might get lucky and get a place outside, but be prepared that you won't.
Daniela was a lovely host and her communication was superb (she doesn't speak English but her daughter does). She even let us check out late, which made a big difference to us. All in all, I would definitely recommend this apartment for a short stay in Ortigia.
