The apartment was in a lovely location on a quiet courtyard, with easy walking access to all of Ortigia, especially the big market street and some excellent restaurants. The host was very responsive when we needed some items, and communication was good. Just be aware that the stairs to the second floor apartment are quite steep and narrow if you have any mobility issues or large suitcases. The easiest place to park is at the nearby garage Talete and then it is a short walk to the apartment. In general we enjoyed our stay at Grazia's place and it provided a good home base for us in Ortigia.
