Lovely little appartment in Ortigia. Great location. Good communication. I really enjoyed my stay here and Ortigia Island particulatly was a fab place to be based!
The only issue was a Boxer dog that lived in a neighbouring apartment but was left to roam around the courtyard to his own devises.
I love dogs so was not too affected by this, but the dog spends the majority of its time in this courtyard and is allowed to pee there. One neighbour specifically warned me not to leave a towel outside to dry on a chair at all as the dog would pee on it. I am also sure the dog regularly peed not far from our front door, so that smell was not always pleasant.
The dog was very friendly, but a little too friendly, trying to hump us as we left or returned to the apartment. Again, I am used to dogs so this was not too much of an issue, however someone not confident with medium sized dogs or someone scared could find this a big problem.
Also, the dog howled some mornings continually when it was locked behind a gate. Which was sad, and also woke me up / stopped me sleeping in.
