My husband and I stayed 4 nights. The apartment is in an AMAZING location looking right onto Ortigia’s main piazza. The bedroom is away from the piazza and quiet for sleeping. We didn’t use the onsite parking but instead parked in Parcheggio Talete long-term parking, which is a ~10-minute walk from the apartment.

Dario was very accessible and responsive during the booking process. Check-in was fairly easy. Have Dario show you how to unlock the big wood door that leads from the piazza into the building’s courtyard (wish we had). It’s locked at night after 9/9:30pm and we found it a little difficult to unlock.

The apartment was spacious and comfortable, but not quite as good as the photos and lacking the basics and preparation that you’d find in other vacation rentals- i.e. the apartment could have been cleaner, dishwasher hadn’t been emptied, etc.. Also, a couple of inaccuracies in the listing: 1) There is no Self check-in or doorman and 2) it’s not really a 2 bedroom apartment unless you count the living room sofa bed as a bedroom. But the kitchen is large and modern with a table for 4.
