So, to start with, if you're coming to Syracuse, you need to stay in Ortigia, this is the beautiful part with all the attractions. Lidia's flat is right in the centre of Ortigia, a five minute walk from everything (supermarket, tourist sights, beach). Lidia is actually from Ortigia, which means she knows everything that's worth seeing/doing/eating. The room is in the flat she lives in, and there's usually someone around to ask for advice or just to talk to throughout the day. The room, and the flat in general, is clean and tidy, and Lidia made everything in the kitchen available for me to use (which is rare among hosts!) and was really great company, very friendly and kind. Definitely recommended!
