We stayed at Carmelo's place for two nights. The apartment is very comfortable and spacious and although it's on the first floor, there is a lift which is definitely nice to have if you come with a lot of luggage. The fact that the apartment had two toilets was definitely a bonus. The living room was also nice and comfortable and had a flat screen TV. In regards to the location, the house is situated in a very nice and safe area, distance walk from the Island of Ortigia and also the Greek Theatre. Although we didn't get to meet Carmelo in person, he was pleasant to communicate with and on the last day he allowed us to stay for longer.
