We had a enjoyable stay in Lucia's apartment. The location is virtually ideal, the noise is not troublesome as in the bedroom is pretty quiet during the most "vibrant hours". The balcony on the roof top overlooking the Temple of Apollo, the bridges connecting Syracuse and Ortigia, one of the main "piazzas" and much of the Ortigia skyline is nothing short of glorious! There are a lot of restaurants, bars, cafeterias, rosticcerias, pasticcerias and markets in the area. WiFi is solid and fast.
