The location of the apartment is convenient for Ortigia Island and free public parking right outside is a bonus (note that it gets busy on Saturdays but we still found a space eventually). The apartment itself is very functional and has everything you would need for a short stay. Good showers, water pressure and hot water. The stairs to the loft room are a narrow spiral so beware if you have young children or balance issues. Great communication with the host before and during the stay with flexibility with check in and check out times when possible which was greatly appreciated. Good wifi also. Overall it met our needs well and it was a good base for exploring the surrounding areas of Noto and southern beaches.
