Marco was a very gracious host - he communicated with us prior to our arrival, left a book of maps, information, and recommendations for dinner, and he met us at the bus station! The location is great - near both the bus and train stations and only 15 minutes to the center of Ortigia. We took a cab (it had been a long day of walking) but you could walk to the archeological park if you want. The apartment was very clean. I would recommend this apartment if you are staying in Siracusa.
