I have visited more than 50 countries and been in countless stays. Claudia stands out as the most amazing host I have ever met on my travels. She went out of her way to make my trip amazing and took very good care of us.
Her apartment was in the perfect location for us. Parking is of course difficult in Ortigia, but there is a garage on the same street - it needs pre-booking! Talete is also a decent option.
On arrival she gave helpful tips about places to visit and even offered to make restaurant reservations in Italian. Plus she went out to purchase flowers of the kind my girlfriend loves...
Outstanding.
