Excellent experience in Daniela's apartment! Beautiful sea-view from the terrace, comfortable accomodations, warm welcome by Daniela's mother. I'm pretty sure we spent more time INSIDE the apartment than outside ;)
Please be careful though, if you arrive by car, to make the necessary arrangements for a parking pass for weekends/holidays - ask what you need in advance (photocopies of documents like driver's license etc). The office was closed during our stay (very short opening hours, too), we had to use one of the city parking lots as we could not enter Ortigia on Friday, which was a holiday).
Otherwise, everything was great, convenient neccessities available (salt, sugar, coffee, grappa ;), cleaning products, water), though the water pressurein the shower is rather weak. The only real invoncenience was the wifi which leaves much to be desired - don't count on it to do your flight's online check-in, it's not strong enough to open websites! But that would be all, vacation without internet access is a blessing!
If you're looking for a good place to eat, go to Taberna Sveva at Piazza Federico di Svevia. Excellent atmosphere, tasty food, friendly service, casual and very enjoyable :)
Have a great stay, and thank you Daniela!
