Max and Iris' home is a nice, remote apartment in the center of Syracuse. My girlfriend and I visited the city in early September to avoid the crowds and the heat. We were looking for a nice place to stay in Ortygia and this apartment met all our needs. It is central, clean, lots of space, and, bonus, it has a roof terrace giving you a great view in all directions.
By the time we got to Syracuse, Max was already waiting for us. He helped is with our luggage and even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy.
What we appreciated most was the silence, the house being protected from the noises on the streets.
Would stay again.
