It is a lovely apartment with a nice view from the balcony.
I have lived in Airbnbs since January 2021, travelingfor 8 years. I will start with the things I didn't like, and give a thorough review since I am the first. Only the single bed was made up for me when the listing says double bed, this was unacceptable. There were no extra linens in the apartment. The pillows are pretty flat and no extra pillowcases. I haven't been in an Airbnb where all the beds aren't made and they all had extra pillows and linens.
He pointed me to the single bed and when I asked about the double he said there was no linens. I don't like to sleep in a child sized bed.
I almost called airbnb to switch apartments over the single bed. But it was already a long walk there, and a last minute booking is a hassle.
No kitchen knife only butter knives and the tiny cutting boards are unusable, the size of half a chicken breast. Fortunately I travel with a Japanese chef's knife because Airbnbs usually have dull knives. The salt shaker had a solid block of salt in it and the lid was rusted shut. When I tried to open it, it broke. There was a half bag of salt. The sugar was also in a shaker and solid, I left it alone as there was half a bag of sugar.
The apartment was 13 degrees when I arrived and slow to heat from the radiators. it was 17.5 by the time I went to bed and 18.5 in the morning. The second day I turned the radiator water heater from 5/10 to 7 and was able to heat the apartment to 20 degrees, my preference. Left it set when I went out because of the long time to warm the apartment. Normally I would turn off all utilities.
Other than my issues it is a very nice and clean apartment, I will still give 5 stars because the host can easily fix the issues I had and be more accommodating. He should have offered to bring me linens for the double bed.
Ragusa Ibla is a long walk from the train station and all uphill when walking to the train station. But it is the ideal area to stay in and I wouldn't want to stay in another area of Ragusa.
Other than the little kitchen issues, it was a well equipt kitchen.
The apartment is newly renovated, new furnishings, and spotlessly clean. The location is very great and quiet for a light sleeper. Great hot water and water pressure. Wifi was good enough for streaming and no issues. Washing machine and enough outdoor drying space for just my small load of clothes.
I recommend the place but to clarify what bed you will be sleeping in before booking. I hope the host will make the small changes so future guests have a perfect stay.
