Our stay, 14 nights, at Suite 18 was everything we expected and wanted for our holiday. The apartment is nicely furnished and comfortable. Plenty of space for two adults. The kitchen is well equipped, so eating in is a realistic option, considering the availability of fresh ingredients at the local market. The location of the apartment is great for exploring Ortygia, and convenient if you need to travel out of town. There are restaurants and cafes and bars within minutes of the front door. The apartment is in a peaceful building, so no disturbed sleep or odd noises. But, the best feature has to be the little balcony. It was great to have breakfast on the balcony and watch the town and quayside coming to life each day, before the sun got too hot. The activities of the local fishermen was absorbing and like a mini soap opera. Enjoying drinks or dinner on the balcony in the evening was equally enjoyable, with the sun setting and air cooling, it was great. Overall, an apartment that was as described, and as good as it sounds. The host, Maria Teresa, was very welcoming and provided good communication. The host was also able to provide information and suggestions for places to visit, local interests, restaurants and bars to try, and other tips and hints. Overall, this contributed to a great stay.
