Le logement de David est idéalement situé dans le centre d'Ortygia, à proximité de tous les restaurants, bar et monuments. Accueil et instruction par David très clair et sympathique.Seul petit bémol, il manque un rideau sur la porte d'entrée, la rue est éclairée h24 et pour le click clack dans le salon ça peut gener. Sinon séjour au top, merci à David !
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025

Ciao, ti ringrazio per la recensione. Ma volevo precisare che il mio alloggio non è quello di Ortigia , ma quello di Modica bassa.
