Marco is doing his best to welcome the travellers. He sent us some SMS to check that everything was ok for us.
The pictures of the studio are accurate.
It is important to notice that the location is a very busy place. There is a lot traffic on the street generating significant noise. Moreover, the pump for water that you find in many sicilian houses is installed in the corridor and operates for several appartments. It generates also sigificant noise inside when somebody is having a shower for instance.
It is correct that Ortigia is at 10 mn walking distance from the appartment.
In very few words, this appartment is well adapted to young people that are not too much disturbed by the noise. Marco is a nice host. But we do not really recommend for older people (like us) .
