Beautiful apartment needs a little TLC
Fantastic, well-equipped apartment in a great location in Ortigia.
We had a lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed the views and location.
A few challenges prevented perfection:
1. Security is a bit of a challenge. The fabulous rooftop space’s access door cannot be locked and can easily be reached from an adjacent apartment. (The door has a lock but the owner has chosen not to provide the key). Additionally, one downstairs bedroom has a door to the courtyard. On our last morning, someone entered (using a key) while our adult daughter was changing. Again, we prefer places where external doors can be locked from the inside!
2. The downstairs air conditioning (both bedrooms) didn’t work the first night and after the electricity was reset, our daughter’s unit again failed the second night. I trust the managers will get this resolved.
3. There were exactly as many towel sets provided as people renting (4), despite the apartment having 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms. We were challenged to get hand towels for each bath.
4. The main freezer drawer is frozen shut. Needs to be defrosted!
