Spacious apartment located right above 2 excellent salumerias and the ortigia market. The market gets going at around 7am but windows block-out the sound well.
The free parking right outside the building is popular with the locals. You are mostly likely to get a spot in the morning or after the market closes at ~3-4pm.
Kitchen is equipped with essentials - dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, some kitchen tools but no basic ingredients.
We traveled with a 2 year old and a travel crib and high chair were available and setup when we arrived.
Unit is on the 3rd floor. The front door to the building is not locked and the first 2 floors of the building look a bit sketchy but the unit is nice inside and has a thick metal door with a deadbolt like a vault.
Marta was a very friendly and helpful host. Key drop off was in my person and she came earlier than the check in time in the listing.
We were a bit disappointed when we arrived and found that the second bedroom was locked. Although the listing is for a 2 bedroom unit, at the bottom of the description you will see that the second bedroom is only available with occupancy over 3 guests or if you pay extra. Hopefully you either read this review or that description and don't rely on the listing headline like we did.
