I’ll start with the positives of this property. It is located in a very convenient area, right by the heart of ortigia and so many delicious restaurants as well as shopping areas. I mainly kept in contact with Marcello and he was very informative and extremely communicative.
But there were also many cons to this place. The listing states there are 3 bedrooms but it’s really more like 2 bedrooms with not much privacy it was 4 of us (two couples) so we made it work. The first room when you enter the property has the most privacy but had no air conditioning and it was extremely hot even with 2 fans, you can open the window but at your own risk as it’s an island with many bugs. The hot water doesn’t last long which is inconvenient considering we got the place with 2 bathrooms for convenience, but still had to take turns for the hot water. The water pressure was also not good which is hard when you have long hair that needs washing lol. The shower head in the first bathroom had some sort of green mold..? The other shower would flood the whole bathroom.
There is also an automatic light that turns on as soon as you enter the place and it kept turning on on its own in the middle of the night. The air conditioners were put in strange places in the property and one was broken.
The toilet in the first bathroom broke 3 hours after we arrived with nothing being thrown inside. Although Marcello was very nice and really communicative I normally do not have to contact and airbnb host as much as I did staying here. This place has so much potential and is in decent shape but fixing these issues would definitely boost it up to a 5 star airbnb.
