The apartment is very well located with easy access to Palermo (restaurants, bars, shopping) as well as to one of the main roads (Santa Fé), where you can find all the bus stops and tube stations that will take you to city centre or other localities. There's a few cafes and pastry shops nearby where you can grab a quick breakfast if needed.
Walking around during the evening is safe, although at times a bit lonely and dark, but nothing to worry! The apartment has a landline phone, which is quite helpful if you need to call a cab and do not have a local mobile number.
To note the apartment is a bit on the cooler side during the winter, even with the heaters on.
Gabriela was a great host and always available, responding quickly to all messages. Flexible check out is an option provided no one is coming the next day, which is great if you need to leave your luggage somewhere before departure.
