Lina's apartment is a dream come true at such a reasonable price. It was sparkling clean, spacious and had wonderful amenities like washer, airconditioning, iron and fantastic flow of hot water in the shower. The kitchen is well equipped and you can easily prepare meals with ingredients bought at fresh markets in Siracusa/ Ortigia or at supermarkets close by! Solarino is a really quiet town but accessible by public buses to Siracusa and Catania, though they are infrequent. I stayed in Lina's apartment for 2 weeks and managed to get around well on public transport to Siracusa, Ortigia, Catania, Noto, Fontane Bianche, Cassible and even on 2 Airbnb experiences to Mount Etna and Cava Grande. Lina is a really sweet host and would be able to provide information when needed. Her communication was open and her responses efficient and swift. I would definitely stay at her place again if I ever visited the area.
