I had a great stay in Syracuse at Carmela's place.
It is located in a building that is at a convenient walking distance (10-15 minutes depending on one's walking pace) from both Ortygia and the train station. The building is located near the city's main avenue so you will find everything you need there: cafés, supermarket, restaurants, all sorts of stores...
The room was tidy and clean and so was the private bathroom. It is located near Carmela's apartment, and she remains available to answer any question. She was also very kind to pick me up at the train station upon my arrival.
Carmela's husband has a gift shop not far from the building and he was very nice by indicating anything that I needed: bus stops and routes, main attractions...

I would definitely go back to Carmela's place on my next trip to Syracuse.

Grazie per tutto, Carmela, spero di tornare alla tua casa nel mio prossimo viaggio a Siracusa!
