Rien

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour d’une semaine dans cet appartement. Il est exactement comme sur les photos : spacieux, propre et très bien équipé. Les clés étaient disponibles dans une petite boîte à code, ce qui est très pratique, surtout que nous sommes arrivés un dimanche soir. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié les petites attentions à notre arrivée : café, thé, biscuits pour le petit déjeuner et une bouteille d’eau dans le réfrigérateur. Pour un séjour d’une semaine, avoir une machine à laver dans l’appartement est vraiment un plus. L’appartement se trouve dans un quartier résidentiel, à environ 15 minutes à pied d’Ortigia. La petite plage avec une plateforme se trouve à moins de 5 minutes à pied : c’est idéal pour aller se baigner rapidement le matin. À savoir : les supermarchés sont assez loin si vous n’avez pas de voiture. Nous ne sommes pas non plus habitués à une telle proximité avec les voisins : on entend beaucoup ce qui se passe autour, surtout avec les fenêtres ouvertes.

Le seul point que j’améliorerais serait d’avoir des oreillers moins durs.

il proprietario gentilissimo ha preparato l’appartamento così bene che ci siamo sentite a casa. appartamento bello e grande, con i pasticcini che ci aspettavano

se siete in due ma volete dormire separati, è meglio informare il proprietario perché prepari le lenzuola per il letto al primo piano

We stayed at this property for 2 nights. It's important to remember that it cost us €60 per night and hence I want to be fair in my review. Pros 1. It cost us €60 a night, and that us very very affordable. 2. Location was fabulous, a 10 min walk from Ortigia. The property is in a local apartment complex and gives a community vibe. 3. Cleanliness was top notch stuff. Lots of sweets and coffee stocked, no soap or shampoo. 4. Spacious apartment with a loft and 2 toilets!! The couch can act as an additional bed. 5. There was complete privacy. The owner never met us, but was always communicating (in Italian only) via booking.com. Check in and check out was easy.

Cons 1. There was no internet. There is a router which is plugged in but receives no data. All previous reviews mention this, yet the owner has not addressed the matter. As tourists who need to also work occasionally, this really was a huge downside to us. The owner made several excuses from the app not working, to the service provider looking into it, to finally conceding that there wouldn't be any internet. He did not charge us the tourist tax to compensate. I think the property should just be advertised as not having an internet subscription to manage expectations. 2. Paper thin walls - the walls of this property are so thin, we could hear the neighbours having a conversation as if they were amidst us. This is not great given that the neighbours go to bed at midnight and have large number of people chatting till late night. This isn't the owners fault per se, but it's important to remember if you want to have a good night's sleep. 3. Bed and pillow uncomfortable - again, for €60 per night, I wouldn't expect anything better, but the pillow is almost breaking down to the point that it gave me a sprained neck. Unrelated to the property, we parked our car outside the building and it got scratched by another car so that ruined our holiday a bit, but this could have happened anywhere in Sicily. All in all, bearing in mind that this cost us so little, it was a nice stop to explore Siracuse and would recommend it to anyone visiting the city. I would only manage expectations of travelers better to avoid any disappointment.
