We had a really warm welcome from Lamberto's mother. The accommodation had everything we needed for our stay, a full kitchen complete with washing machine and the location in Ortigia was good. The terrace was lovely although you had to be prepared to carry everything up the flight of stairs to get to it.
There was an unpleasant smell in the stair well on the approach to the flat and the neighbour's dog used the stairs as a toilet. The dog was very friendly however I'm not sure the neighbour was so we always approached the flat very quietly.
