Lamberto's apartment was at a great location right in the center of Ortygia, but because it is located in a courtyard there was not a lot of street sound. I suppose this could be different in the summer with all the windows open, but we found it very quiet. You can walk the whole island easily and he is just a few blocks from the great daily market and good restaurants. The home has good-sized bedrooms and we found our bed very comfortable with nice bedding and pillows as well. There was usually enough hot water to get through a shower and the bathroom was nice. The kitchen was well-equipped and we cooked there every night. We didn't get to use the terrace much as we had a small baby with us, but it seemed like a nice place to enjoy some privacy and sun in the city. The neighbor seemed a little strange, but didn't bother us. All in all I would recommend it as a centrally-located, well-equipped place. Lamberto communicated quickly with us and seemed very open to help.
