Sometimes I read guest reviews and I wonder: where do they find such a super host... Well, you need look no further. Francesca is one of those people. I am SO scared of driving in Italian cities and she arranged to pick us up and guide us through traffic to a great parking space. Isn't that just awesome!
Her apartment is wonderful. It is decorated in a beautiful, quirky way (I loved the tile fragments on the bedroom wall) and it has everything you might need. Seriously: everything. Every time we looked, we found something new: 'O look, she found a place for snorkeling gear as well'.
The apartment is situated in the best part of Ortigia where it is somewhat quiet but still quite close to some good restaurants and bars and the tiny city beach (good for a quick snorkle).
In addition to all this, she has all kinds of info on restaurants, things to do and see. And after we left, she texted us some great advice for our next destination. Did I already mention that she is a super host? This is a wonderful place and if we ever go back to Ortigia/Syracusa, we will definitely come here.
