The apartment is in a perfect location. It was a most charming street with a great restaurant a minute away. The apartment was quiet, clean and nicely decorated as it shows in the pictures. Valentina and her son were there greet us and to help us when we arrived. Her son went with my husband to find parking, which is real a challenge in Ortigia.
I think the only draw back with the apartment could be the bed being in a loft with stairs that were not so easy to climb. If you have to go to the bathroom a lot in the night, i.e. are a male over 60, and not so steady on your feet - it could be a bit challenging.
