This apartment is beautifully furnished and everything works -- the kitchen has plenty of dishes and pots and pans, and the stove and refrigerator are both new. The bed is comfortable. The wi-fi works great. Marco showed us where we could park for free right across the street. The grocery store is about two or three blocks away, and there are several cash machines on the way there. There is a nice park just a little over a block away, with children's play equipment and a newsstand that had the International Herald Tribune. Marco was very genial and helpful, met us when we arrived, gave us directions to things we wanted to see, and was available by cell phone or message when we had questions. The apartment is about twenty minutes' walk from the Greek theater and the archaeological park and the Paolo Orsi archaeological museum, and perhaps fifteen minutes or less from Ortigia, in the other direction, so one day we went one way and the next day we went the other, without ever having to drive at all. We highly recommend Marco's place as a comfortable and quiet little haven, even though the streets outside are busy and bustling. A good way to experience Ortigia and the archaeological sites without having to drive.
