Vittorio and Anna's Ortigia apartment is very centrally located in between the Temple of Apollo and Archimedes fountain; and only a couple more minutes away from the Duomo Piazza. I arrived by car
late in the afternoon, lot of traffic, infrequent street names. It was difficult for me to describe to Vittorio where I was on the phone with my very poor Italian. His wife, Anna, met me near the Temple of Apollo, showed me where I could leave my car in a public parking lot (about a half mile away), then walked me to the apartment down a beautiful, plant-filled lane. Very quiet neighborhood. Place was very clean. Near many cafes and restaurants down many nearby streets.
Both Vittorio and Anna speak enough English to overcome any problem. They are incredibly kind, patience and hospitable. I would stay there again.
