Laura is an excellent host. She responds very quickly to all inquiries and is very helpful. Lea, who introduced us to the apartment, is a delight. She did an excellent job briefing us on the apartment and the area. She even contacted Laura to have her make a reservation for a recommended restaurant the evening we arrived. The apartment is in an ideal location, only a few blocks from Ortigia. In the other direction, the archaeological park is only a 20-30 minute walk. The apartment is sparkling clean with very comfortable beds. And Laura has provided a number of provisions in the kitchen that are very helpful. We took an evening tour advertised on Airbnb with Marco and found it to be an excellent introduction to the island in the evening when it is magical and uncrowded. "Casa Diaz" is an outstanding value!
