Francescos apartment is conveniently located right in the between the two main places-to-be in Syrakus: the Ortigia island and the Parco Archeologico. Both are about a 15min walk. Francesco is such a nice and fun guy, very attentive and helpful and gave us the best tips for our stay. Try the Caseificio Borderi paninis.. doesn't get any better. It's really the attention to detail that makes some Airbnbs more special than others, and Francescos place really has it all: from the darkening curtains, to the extra blanket, the free water bottle, beer and wine for a little money, down to the complimentary earplugs. We loved our stay at his apartment and definitely recommend to stay there.
