Our hosts were very helpful and stayed to ensure we got a parking spot in the crowded streets of Ortigia when we arrived. Our hosts left some food for us which was very much appreciated, and we enjoyed using the kitchen. There are no guarantees though and if you are coming and going during your stay expect to have some challenges finding a spot. The apartment is in a great location by the sea and is reasonable for the price - unfortunately, it has a strong damp smell as has been stated in some of the other reviews which will bother some people more than others. The double bed in the loft is actually two twin beds pushed together which further dampens the romance of what is otherwise a pretty cute flat.
