The apartment was exactly as pictures and in a great location in Ortigia island, right by the coast. Parking was limited on the island but we were able to park at a lot just outside the island and walk in. Unfortunately, since we were there during the winter months and the apartment being in an old building, we had frequent power outages from using the heater too often and the hot water also ran out frequently. Gianfranco and Irene were very responsive and helped us with these issues right away. There was also some confusion with a deposit, and I would just recommend keeping all communication within Airbnb. Thanks!
