This place is exactly as shown in the description. I was pleasantly surprised that it is more spacious than it looks in the photos. It is an easy 20 minute walk from the Syracuse train station and the sea is at the doorstep. Ortigia is not a large community so walking to anywhere on the island is only a few minutes away. The market is 5 minutes, the Apollo temple is 5 minutes and the cathedral is about 10 minutes by foot. The place is short on naturally light but I was seldom at home and spent a lot of my time outdoors. The steps to the loft might be a bit hazardous to anyone with any mobility problems but then you likely would not be choosing a loft-type unit anyway.
Check in was easy with a lockbox code. Stefano was attentive to any questions I had.
It is a bargain for one or two people.
