If you are looking for a quite place to stay, this is not it!!! There are construction sites all around, with many houses being renovated, which is a long and loud process! We were woken up by workers arriving around 6.45 in the morning! They were loud and noisy with their motorcycles and the work preparations. That noise turned into UNBEARABLY loud drilling and hammering, right above our heads!!! That all happened before 8am!
In addition, the apartment is situated in a small pedestrian street, with the huge doors looking out. Unfortunately, the locals use motorcycles on that street and as they pass you have a feeling that they are driving right through your living room/kitchen.
Ear plugs do not help here.
Also, I believe you should not use the “free parking” option, as we parked in the suggested area and we got a ticket.
If you’re ok with the noise, the apartment by itself is very nice. Located on Ortigia, right next to the market and many bars and restaurants. It is furnished in a modern way, with one big room being divided by glass platform on two floors. The place was clean, although the cutlery still had some remains of food on it. It was some Nutella.
I would not mention it, but the owner explicitly said that we will be fined 30 EUR if we do not wash our dishes. The cleaning fee was already high enough and I thought that his warning was out of place.
