What a lovely apartment. It was warmly decorated,with nice Sicilian touches. The layout was convenient, and accessible. The stairs to the apt is only one flight of stairs and easily navigated. The kitchen was easy to use, and the view over the main Street in Ortigia was lovely. Some early morning noise was expected but not bad. Heating and cooling worked well. The stairs to the bathroom are the only issue, but I knew about that ahead of time and was ok with it. A prime location with lively welcome gift from the host. I would definitely stay there again!
