We do not recommend until plumbing and electrical issues are properly fixed.
The place is nicely finished and in an interesting part of Ortigia. Lots of friendly kids play around your door and the old city is quite clean and beautiful. Sicilians are wonderful people. However we had two major problems with our stay and several minor annoyances. First, there is a constant smell of mold and damp from beneath the kitchen sink. There was a loose cut rubber pipe seen there which tell me the plumbing may be done incorrectly. Second, during the evening of the first night while we were out for a walk, the power to everything but the lights went out and stayed out. This means no hot water/shower, no power to charge your device (no outlets), no internet, no a/c, no washer, etc. everything is on one circuit!! Way overloaded and very unlikely all the things they have in there will work. The ladies came to fix it next morning at our requested time but they attempted to address a dangling pigtail outside with electrical tape. This was scary to see if you are familiar with electrical safety. In the end, we decided to leave early. But the host provides no way to leave keys so you must wait for the host to return. When they arrived they insisted we sign their guest book in front of them. We did our best to tell them we appreciate they tried to fix the problems. However, if you would prefer to have no such problems during your stay, we advise you follow up with the host before booking.
We regret leaving a negative review but feel it would be unfair to the other great places we stayed while in Sicily to devalue those places by giving a good review for a suboptimal stay. We encourage the host to fix the problems to realize the full value of their place.
