The location is good, 20-30 minutes walk either to the Greek ruins or to Ortygia. You have to announce your arrival one day in advance in order to make arrangements for accessing the apartment. I have not anticipate it and when we phoned at noon, arriving from Syracuse, the owner was unfortunately not available to let us in until 5-6 pm. The parking during the day might be a problem, the owner has access to a parkade 3 blocks away for the amount of 5 $/day. Easy parking in the street at night. The breakfast was simple, the owner made efforts to make our stay pleasant.
