Quite a spacious apartment for two: living room/inbuilt kitchen downstairs, and large bedroom upstairs. This place has character: old but well-maintained. Safe, behind three locked doors. Central location in Ortygia. It's in a small street, so parking is a challenge, though Talete Parking (10 in coins for 24h) is not far, and we think (!) parking between the arcade closest to the police station opposite Talete and Talete is free. Nice cafe with plenty sorts of beer at the corner, minimarket in adjacent street, so nice to buy and prepare stuff and eat at balcony, restaurants nearby as well. Around the corner is a pizzeria with live music till 1 AM, which is an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on your point of view. We were late checking in, due to queuing up at the airport car rental and Sicilian-style motorway signs... but Roberta's brother was so kind not to bother. We dealt with him, and only had mail and phone contacts with Roberta, which were pleasant and easy. She found the place romantic for us, two guys on a long honeymoon trip - so gay-friendly - and we agree with her :-)
