We were unsure what to expect after having read previous reviews but were so pleasantly surprised! Everything was great! The place is really cute, spacious, and secure. It even has air conditioning that works so well! The neighborhood is cute and feels safe :-) Communication couldn't have been easier -- the hosts replied right away and made themselves available for everything, even lending us an adapter. It was really an ideal place to stay and we will happily return if we come back to Siracusa.
