This is a great location, right next to the sea, so you can hear the sea every day from the living area. There are 30 odd steps up to the apartment, but they are not difficult steps to negotiate. Parking is difficult in Ortigia, but there is a private car park about 7-8 mins walk away for 15 euros per day. You can get free parking elsewhere, but you need to get local advice to figure out how to do that. One of the bedrooms has air conditioning, and the other has a fan. That suited our group just fine. There is a washing machine which was really useful. We did not really use the kitchen much other than to have a basic breakfast, but there are facilities to cook if you needed to. The beds are very comfortable, and the 2 bedrooms we used were quiet at night, so we slept well. You can't use the air conditioning and the TV at the same time, but hopefully you wouldn't want to watch TV while in Sicily!! We really enjoyed staying here, and Santi was a very responsive host. He was available to sort any issues out, and some small niggles got sorted very quickly. Thank you Santi for getting an iron for my friend! And thank you also for letting us stay in your lovely apartment. We enjoyed it very much.
