We had a fantastic time at Sebastian’s apartment in Palermo: it really is in a great spot between all the action in Soho and the underground station ten minutes’ walk away on Santa Fe (although we found that, with a Sube card, the buses were great fun – particularly the 152 through the city centre and down into the heart of La Boca).
Arrival and departure were nice experiences thanks to the ebullient Elena and we were delighted to find the apartment was just as it looks in the photos, with the coloured window glass helping to give it a very traditional feel.
There was everything we needed and the bonus was the roof terrace to sit out on for breakfast and late-afternoon/evening drinks and food (in January it was too hot for us to be out in the sunshine during the heat of the day).
Looking down on the trees lining the streets below, it was really nice to feel the breeze blowing over the city.
We stayed for 11 nights and wished we had at least another 11 when it was time to leave!
