Our party of five stayed at Giuseppe's apartment for five nights. The apartment is very spacious with three large bedrooms and two bathrooms, and five of us felt comfortable living there.
Giuseppe went above and beyond to make our arrival comfortable. We arrived pretty late at night by car. Giuseppe secured us a free parking spot at one of Ortygia's designated parking areas and helped us get all our luggage to the building. The building is very stylish, with high ceilings located perfectly in the heart of Ortygia. The apartment is considered to be on first floor but in fact it feels more like second floor, so be prepared to climb some stairs. It is very beautiful, nicely furnished, and has everything we needed inside. A nice addition is a stylish balcony in one of the bedrooms opening on a historical and beautiful street.
We love cooking, so we really enjoyed the open air food market in 5 min walking distance to buy fresh fish, vegetables and fruit every day. The cooking space in the apartment is a bit small, but otherwise cooking was pretty comfortable.
Giuseppe has been very responsive and considerate to every question we had. We felt comfortable and welcomed throughout our stay.
One thing to consider: there is one Air Conditioner in the apartment, located in the kitchen/leaving area. Each bedroom has its own floor fan. To keep fresh air flowing we usually left the windows open. The temperature was very comfortable, but you will hear some city noises: groups of tourists, garbage tracks, restaurants cleaning and preparing for opening. We all slept pretty well, but take your ear plugs with you if you are light sleeper.
