We absolutely loved our stay in Ortigia! It is the most beautiful town, and the location of the apartment was perfect! Right in the heart of the old town close to great restaurants, bars and the water.
The apartment is spacious and very nicely decorated. It looks exactly like the pictures you see on the air b&b advertisement. The only thing was that the apartment doesn't have a terrace - that is in mariella's apartment - but she did invite us to have a drink with her there. And there are several balconies around the apartment as well!
Mariella was a great host. She met us and made sure we had the amenities we needed and that everything was ok with the apartment. Also, we had some issues with our car on our second day - but Mariella was so helpful!! She drove me to the place I needed to go, helped me sort the issue out and dealt with all the locals in Italian for me :)
I would highly recommend staying at Mariella'a apartment in Ortigia!
