An excellent welcome from Bruno, Lorena's father, who picked us up from the bus station and proceeded to show us Syracuse and it's highlights, as well as being extremely kind and welcoming. The apartment itself was well-appointed, well-located and spotless. Everything you could possibly need was supplied, including cakes and hazelnuts! Highlights: a balcony overlooking the street below - excellent place to sit, drink and talk. Lowlights: to use the shower, you had to go via the master bedroom. However, highly recommended, would go back.
