You are right in the mix of things in Palermo, and have easy access to all of what it has to offer, like great restaurants, beautiful parks, and nightlife. The pool area is convenient and quite nice. We had two issues with scheduling time for the mandatory cleaning person to come and they didn't show, which slightly affected our plans, though was not a big deal. The one thing that we struggled with during our 1-month stay that I was surprised to not see any other guests mention was that a train passes by right outside the window where your beautiful view faces at all hours and is quite loud even with the windows are closed. We got used to it, but it took some adjusting to. Perhaps it's no big deal for many. Overall, it was a nice stay in a great location.
