Amazing host with a great apartment! Location is perfect - 2 blocks from the old bridge to Ortigia, yet a quiet street. Clean, well furnished, plenty of room for 5-6 people. Plus a foldaway if you needed it (we did not). Mario was fantastic. The apartment is easy to find yet he still met us in person and helped us move in. He even provided us with some breakfast supplies. He made some sightseeing recommendations and helped us book a tour to Mt Etna. The best part was when he took us to his friends' deli/cheese/sandwich shop: Caseificio Borderi. FUN and great food ! If you are planning a visit to Syracuse then you must stay here and meet Mario.
