Sarah's place is fantastic. The location is superb, right by the Fountain of Diana.
The apartment is beautifully remodeled. The bed was comfortable, the shower was great, and the air conditioning was fantastic.
The internet was usable, though I wouldn't recommend using it for streaming- about 6 mbps down and 2 mbps up.
Sarah was a phenomenal hostess, she and her sister met us when checking in and showed us around the apartment. They gave us great tips for where to go in Ortigia and Syracuse. They also gave us recommendations for restaurants, including the one just outside the apartment- Casa Trimarchi Bistrot, which we ended up going to three times! Mentioning we were staying at Sarah's place also provided us a 10% discount there. It was easily one of our favorite restaurants in Italy, so the apartment's close proximity is a huge bonus.
We'd gladly stay at Sarah's place again next time we're in Syracuse.
