The location is perfect: a very quiet spot inside Ortigia and close to the parking. The host was super nice, waited for my check in until late and even saved a parking spot for me! He also recommended a wonderful restaurant around the corner. The renovation of the building, however, was not very well planned and the upper floor, where the bed, is is tiny, a bit claustrophobic and has a very low ceiling. As a result it gets very hot inside without air conditioning or you get the cold air from the a/c right on your face. In addition, you have to climb a steep and narrow staircase every time you want to go to the bathroom. I felt that very uncomfortable and eventually I moved into the sofa bed on the lower floor, which is more spacious and has a very high ceiling. Having a proper bed downstairs would make the place perfect. The washing machine did not work and eventually I didn’t have time to enjoy the terrace, accessible through the upper tiny room. After I left, they asked me about a beach umbrella that went missing from the terrace. I hope they have found it.
