Salvatore's apartment was clean, spacious, airy and centrally located. The layout and size were perfect for what my partner and I needed to work remotely for the week. We went to the local market everyday to pick up fresh produce and used the terrace to enjoy our home meals.
Since it was just two of use, we only used the master bedroom, which worked well as a second office to take calls. The master bedroom window has a small balcony that overlooks the main pedestrian street and small view of the sea. Since we were there in April, shoulder season, we didn't experience much noise from the street. The windows are double-paned and get lots of direct sunlight when the shutters/doors are open.
The apartment is remodeled so everything is in excellent condition. The bed is comfortable and the shower has great water pressure. As another reviewer noted, the second bedroom is located next to the staircase to the main floor where the bedroom, dining/living room, kitchen and bathroom are located. The staircase up to the apartment door and main apartment floor are a bit narrow, but this was not an issue for us.
Salvatore was welcoming and very responsive. We appreciated the welcome cookies, bottle of water, juice and wine. It was a lovely touch.
We wholeheartedly enjoyed our stay at Salvatore's apartment and would book there again the next time we are in Siracusa. I recommended his place to a friend who may visit later this year.
Grazie mille, Salvatore!
