Couldn't ask for anything better in the heart of Palermo. The location is fabulous - on a great street with bars and restaurants close by as well as a great fruit and veg shop, bakery and fresh pasta shop within less than a block. I've been working from this apartment everyday and the floor to ceiling windows across the entire front are a joy, letting the sunlight and fresh air stream in. The balcony gets great sunshine from 2-4.30 every afternoon (this is in November). A few teething problems - tv broken and new oven was temperamental - for which Piper was enthusiastically on hand to make sure everything was sorted swiftly. Couldn't recommend highly enough, I'd love to stay longer. Also - as a female staying alone I feel safe in both the area and the apartment, which is always a top priority.
