Best view in Syracuse. A massive balcony on the top floor of an 8 story building overlooks the sea and the sanctuary basilica. The apartment is large enough that bathrooms are not shared. Graziano is a very helpful friendly host who clearly loves being a host and meeting people from around the world. Two blocks from the bus going to and from the Catania airport, and maybe 10 minutes walk to the main central bus and train stations. Ortigia is probably 15 to 20 minutes on foot, but you can't get a view like this in Ortigia and you'll pay a lot more over there. Well worth the value!
