We found the experience to be in line with previous reviews. The place was as the pictures show. The air condition was great, because there was a heatwave when we stayed at the apartment. The location was great and the whole town of ortigia is easy to visit by foot. It's was very busy in august so it was hard to find a parking spot at busy times, nonetheless we could always find a spot. Stefano checked us in and communicated with us during our stay. The apartment had everything that we needed during our 9-day stay!
