Mario’s apartment is exactly like the photos suggest.
There are 2 queen beds and 2 single beds in a total of 3 bedrooms. Also there is a washing machine and clothes airer which we found very useful.
Mario’s tips for things to do in the area were excellent - he recommended two local, non touristy, authentic Sicilian restaurants and for a family of four we feasted at each for just over €100. We also took his tips re the market & local places to swim and thoroughly enjoyed both.
Mario’s apartment is probably 20 metres from the bridges to Ortigia island, so wonderfully centrally located. Perfect location for us in fact as we had a hire car and could not have driven it into the traffic limited zone (ZTL) of Ortigia. Instead, Mario left instructions to park at a commercial car park within a 5 minute walk but outside the ZTL. We parked there for approx 42 hours & it cost us €10.
Thanks for hosting us Mario!
