Marcella is a great host. We arrived really late in the evening, over an hour later than expected but Marcella was great about it. She waited up to let us in, showed us where to park and showed us all the ammenities in the accomodation. The apartment was lovely and spacious with everything you needed. Be aware there are lots of stairs to the apartment. Syracuse is a fantastic place to stay for things to see and places to visit. Close to the sea and close to shops and restaurants. The place is very busy with lots of traffic so parking can be an issue but everything else was perfect. We'd definately stay there again if we come to Sicily.
