Excellent location in the middle of Ortigia.
However… the apartment does not have any scenic views like the description says.
As there are no curtains, you have to close the shutters or people walking by can see straight in, so the place becomes quite dark.
The apartment was very spacious, however the layout was not ideal. Probably ok for a young family but not for us with three adults. The single bed, located in the living room is actually a sofa bed, which again was not quite as described. To get from the main bedroom to the bathroom you have to go through the living room, so there’s not much privacy.
There was no shower gel or shampoo as indicated, which is pretty much standard in all Airbnbs.
The place was not very clean, I even saw a cockroach.
The only bonus was a good size washing machine and dryer so we got to to do our washing. The lint filter and condenser water in the dryer were both full. You would expect the cleaners to check this.
Directions for parking were given but they were not very clear which made it difficult. The owner didn’t make his phone number available like others do. We paid 17 Euros for 24hrs parking off the island after dropping off our bags close by as suggested, only to find out later there were parking stations on Oritgia right near the apartment for the same price.
The price was ok for the location but the lack of attention to detail let this apartment down.
