Mario's communication was prompt right from the start and he kindly managed the variable arrival time ( due to long drive from Palermo to Syracusa, as well as change flight times by Ryanair!)
Mario explained the various local attractions and was helpful with information for both the immediate area as well as the province of Syracuse. During the course of my stay he kept in touch to see if all was Ok which was a appreciated gesture.
The location of the apartment is fabulous allowing wanderings around Ortigia the amazing fish and fruit/veg market and the historical old town areas . You can look out both ways from the small window balconies and view the sea on either side of the street then wander across the two bridges into Ortigia .
I would thoroughly recommend this apartment and it's location
