We handled the reservation the evening before checking in. Communication went through Airbnb and cellphone afterwards because we didn't have internet anymore. Mariella was really friendly and checking in was easy. We stayed for one night and used it mostly as a bedroom. The studio was not really big but very clean and nicely decorated! It was well provided with everything you need for a stay there and close to everything in Ortigia. The court is cute with a lot of plants. The house has other apartments/studio too, they also have two friendly big dogs that regularly sit in the hallway, which we didn't expect.
We liked staying here and would have liked to stay longer then one night!
