Marco was so friendly and such a great host--the best I have had on Airbnb so far--there was even some food and drink for me in the apartment. I truly enjoyed hanging out with him and his friends one night. The apartment, which was very conveniently located, was excellent and well furnished! I think this is the best place to stay for value if you aren't deadset on staying within Ortigia. It was a very easy walk along the main street to get to Ortigia, but it was also walkable (15-20 minutes) to either the archaeological park or the archaeological museum. I wish I could have stayed longer.
