We were 3 women friends, and this place was perfect for our needs. The location couldn't have been more convenient for exploring Ortigia on foot: 1 block to the water, 2 blocks to the open market, small grocery story around the corner, steps away from lovely laneways full of restaurants, cafes and shops. We experienced good weather, so spent some quality time on the roof deck, which is one floor above the apartment. We chose to shop at the market and do much of our own cooking, and we had everything we needed to create great meals. Communication with Yulis was prompt. We recommend this place without hesitation.
