You can't beat the location of Jacopo's place which is literally at the doorstep of Ortigia where we spent most of our time in Syracusa. His place is beautifully done up and the space is really efficiently used. The air conditioning works really efficiently and there is also a pedestal fan available for additional circulation. Besides a fully functional kitchen, there is a large sofa to hang out on and he provides you a dongle for watching streaming services on the large TV. The restaurants and bar suggestions Jacopo gave us were spot on and we had some of our best meals of our trip there, especially at La Foglia. There are two great breakfast places just minutes from the apartment as well. He was also kind enough drop us to the station on our last day there and was really easy to reach throughout our stay.
