We highly recommend staying at Giuseppes place! The apartment was very clean, it is centrally located and you can easily visit the market in the morning, it has plenty of restaurants rearby and it is located in a quiet area. The apartment is a bit different to what we are used to, the bedroom is on one floor with a bathroom, on the next floor is the kitchen and a bathroom and on the next floor is the wonderful patio that we really loved. Note that there are a lot of stairs to climb, but if that is not a problem this apartment is exceptional. We were traveling with a two year old and it was not a problem when having so many stairs to climb. There are mosquito nets in all windows and doors. Giuseppe was extremely helpful and answered all our questions and gave us good directions around Ortigia. We would definitely stay there again.
