Francesco was a fantastic host - his communication was brilliant throughout, helping with parking etc - but on arrival he took a good 15 minutes to provide us with lots of local knowledge and tips for restaurants etc. It absolutely made the stay! The apartment is perfect too, ideally located between Ortigia and the archaeological park. We didn’t have any issue with the traffic noise that others have mentioned, for a city apartment it’s really very quiet. I heartily recommend a stay here!
