The apartment was great, we loved the arch and the unusual stairs! We were cosy with the heater provided and the bed was comfortable. The apartment is in a fantastic location for exploring Syracuse, very close to excellent restaurants, cafes, bars and sights. Communication with Valentina before we arrived was fine, and her father was very friendly when he met us to show us the apartment. One small thing, there's not much privacy afforded by the bathroom and the shower room, but it's fine if you are comfortable with the person you are holidaying with!
