Lorena was nice enough to meet us while we ate lunch to let us in the apartment. We wish we would have had time to cook with her, but we only took a short trip. The space was great. It was a lot bigger than we expected. It was clean. I can't stress how awesome the location is. If you end up making the trip, I would strongly recommend Il Nuovo Fermento (especially the canolo), Gelati Bianca, and just about every pizza shop you can find in Ortigia.
