We walked from the last bus stop from Syracusa to Ortiga island, took maybe 10-15 mins with suitcases in tow. The apartment was in a great location (and up 4 flights of stairs). The apartment is roomy and a great space with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We were 2 friends travelling together so that was perfect. However, when we arrived the bin in the kitchen had not been emptied and we think the smell of meat permeated through the apartment, which seemed to take ages to disappear. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay and has everything you need.
