Desiree's apartment is clean, comfortable and well-located.
It is within easy walking distance of the market and central square; is close to some of the best-rated restaurants in Ortigia; and is only a few minutes' walk from the sea.
Desiree made our evening arrival easy by ensuring that the key was accessible. She also helpfully provided a list of suggestions in terms of places to eat and things to see.
The apartment itself is very well finished and the bedroom in particular retains a beautiful original stone wall. The kitchen has pots and pans, and some cutlery. There is also a coffee machine which uses the pods that are easy to find at the local mini market, which is about 5-6 minutes' walk away.
All in all, the apartment is a great place to stay and Desiree is a good host who remains contactable throughout. I would certainly stay here again as it is an ideal launchpad for enjoying the food, sights and experiences of Ortigia.
