The apartment is charming and spotlessly clean with all the amenities you could need, it is compact but has plenty of storage, a great shower and (very much needed) powerful air conditioning. The double terraces upstairs were our favourite - one to hang washing out on and the other to enjoy breakfast/lunch with a sea view - often my favourite part of each day. The only downside was that there is quite a bit of building work going on around the apartment, though given the ancient nature of Ortigia this is all around and a common feature of much accommodation. Great communication from the host when booking and throughout our stay from his friend Domenica, who could not have been kinder to us. A really great apartment and I would definitely recommend a stay here.
