The location was ideal for seeing Syracuse and Ortigia. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The roof patio is wonderful. The Air Conditioning really saved the day while we were there. Overall it is a fantastic place.
Unfortunately the shower and toilet in one bathroom were not usable. We contacted the owners and they were not able to get them fixed while we were there, and did not follow up with us. When we returned home we tried to contact them a couple of times but there was no answer, even after several days.
If it's in good repair, this is a nice place. If not, still a nice place, but less so.
