The apartment is spacious and well appointed in a minimalist/modernist style, with some classic design furniture pieces.

Located in Palermo, it is an easy walk around the neighbourhood for the great collection of shops, bars and restaurants for which the area is famous. It is known as a creative hub, home to many artists and designers, and is slowly being developed, with larger international brands spotting the potential, and moving in, though the original creative vibe still exists.

The apartment is also well located for public transport links, with the subway and many bus routes leaving from Santa Fe, and we found taking buses the easiest and most interesting way of getting around the city.

The one issue we had with the apartment is that it was a little under-appointed in some ways - there was only a small ironing board, for instance, suitable for refreshing your clothes from the suitcase, but not for seriously ironing things. It would be perfect for a four day term, we think, but a bit trickier for us, when we stayed for nearly two weeks and had to wash things as we went, so it was more difficult.
