My friend and I had a GREAT stay at Brian's apartment! The place is clean, quiet and very clean. Having 2 bathrooms and 2 patios was a nice bonus! Brian is also a fantastic host. He's very flexible with check-in/check-out times and quick to respond to messages.

One problem we had with the apartment is the location. The neighborhood surrounding it is quiet, and within a few minutes walking you can be at cute cafes and restaurants. It's not as dense as other parts of Palermo, but it's easy to catch a taxi to take you around. Trying to direct a taxi driver TO the apartment, however, is very difficult. The apartment is near the train tracks which cuts many of the streets and makes the one-ways very confusing. Several times it took us an extra 5+ minutes of driving around in the taxi to get to the right part of the street. If you stay at the apartment, bring a map of the area and be prepared to help your driver!
