  : The highlight of the apartment is definitely the roof top terrace. It can only be reached from the stairs in the apartment, so guaranteed privat and perfect to relax and have a glass of wine. Its perfectly equipped with table, chairs an a huge parasol, so you can also have your meals up there.The apartment itself is small, but enough space for two people and also equipment with everything you will need during your stay. Its perfectly located in the historic heart of Ortigia and all kind of restaurants, shops, supermarkets, are just around the corner. The entrance can be reached through a very quiet backyard, so you are protected from the noise of the touristic streets.
  : One minor hint: especially at nightfall there are some mosquitoes on the terrace. Not that bad, but if you are sensitive, make sure you have some insect repellent with you ;)

  : Great central location, well equipped and quiet. Nice roof terrace.
  : Very steep stairs up to flat and to roof terrace - difficult to negotiate with luggage. Extremely bijou - had what was required but very limited space if you have big bags. Constant emails from host - requesting that lights are put out and windows closed in case it rains - very patronising and unnecessary. If you let a property to adults and take a deposit- then you need to respect the guests privacy without updates and reminders, which we found intrusive. Made you feel as if you were being monitored and spied on!

  : Really comfortable bed, appreciated after 3 weeks travelling in Sicily. The location is quite good facing a square where local people sit down, chat and play cards at evenings. Really nice solarium (but a bit warm during the day, the big umbrella does not help bringing that much shade).
  : Constructive feedback for the next guests and Luca, the host: - as others already commented: to remark that there are a lot of stairs (so not a good option for everybody), Bathroom is with a glass wall (privacy need for some moments that could be solved with a curtain -but indeed is a romantic option for some moments-) and the host, Luca, is contacting you regularly before and during the accommodation (that depends on the guests "taste/like"), parking offered at 25eur/day (at the entrance of Ortigia you can find other options for 15eur/day) - Wi-Fi was not working stable (I had to work sometimes during the 5-nights stay), host proposed me to work from the solarium (also not working) or from a bar/restaurant in center square. - 150eur Deposit to be paid in cash that is returned after the host checks the status of the apartment (switching on the lights, checking all the bathroom...) at the check-out. That's why I overall rated it a 8, that is a "really good" (as I seen that host normally complain if the rate is lower than 9, that might be reserved for perfect stays).

  : We loved the sunny roof terrace. There was a bottle of wine for us from Luca our host. Quiet surroundings in good location

  : It is definitely a charming place. Great location in Ortigia - in a small square - with some abandoned but really beautiful building and other where locals leave, in the heart of the city, close to everything. It is beautifully designed apartment with very comfortable bed, lovely balcony over the small square and a rooftop terrace. Unfortunately because of the shower rains and strong winds we could not use the terrace. Luca, our host, provided 5-star service - from communication prior the the stay until its end, he arranged a parking near the place (20 eur per day), he also arranged the pass for the LTZ in Ortigia. An espresso maker and espresso capsules as well as a welcome red wine. It was a great experience for Ortigia exploration.
  : There is a deposit of 150 eur in cash that you have to leave at check-in and then you have to receive it back at check-out or prior the check out, which was a little embarrassing.

  : It was fairly central and near to a car park which was recommended by our host -Luca. BTW. Luca was an amazing help for everything. Very kind and responsive. The stay was a funky loft with a rooftop terrace very cool.
  : Not much bad to say. The outdoor entry setting was somewhat deceiving in that it looked like a run-down dirty old neighborhood. however, the neighbours were true Sicilians. Very kind and friendly and passionate about life. It truly added spice to our stay.

  : Very well situated in Ortiga, the terrace is beautiful reached by very steep stairs. Luca, the host very friendly and could always help out and share information
  : It is a bit tiny but has everything. The courtyard you need to pass to get to the appartment is a bit shady and it would be ok to have light by the entrance
