Salvatore and his wife were lovely and welcomed us to their apartment. The apartment is in a decent location if you have a car and wish to street park for free. We used that for our first day there. And Salvatore recommended a local beach that we spent the afternoon at. The upstairs balcony in the apartment is lovely and plant-filled, and is a great spot to relax at the end of a long day. The apartment was spacious overall. For our group, we thought the location, about a 10-15 minute walk to the start of Ortigia was a bit far. This might be absolutely fine for otger groups.
