The flat is very big and absolutely gorgeous and luxurious. It was very close to the Forte Vigliena swimming spot which was terrific for spotting fish. We were in Siracusa on our honeymoon and it was a very nice flat to spend time in when not out exploring the city. It was very hot in September so the air conditioning and big refrigerator were much appreciated! The location was excellent - one street away from waterfront and a short walk from the Duomo. The adjacent streets have lots of little shops to look at and a few museums are nearby. The host was very responsive and helpful eg. when I emailed to ask where the nearest supermarket was. I do have one big criticism though which is that the flat doesn't have a roof terrace. The photo in the listing is of the host's own flat, and although she invited us to visit and use it, I wanted an outdoor space I could just use informally. I think the terrace photo should be removed.
