We had such an amazing time in Palermo and Zulma was an incredible hostess! When we arrived she was nice enough to show us around the neighborhood and make suggestions for our stay in that area. The apartment itself is small but has everything you need to be comfortable! There was plenty of natural light, the bathroom was great, the kitchen has just enough to cook meals, plenty of closet space, and even though the bed was a pull out couch, it worked just fine for my boyfriend and I! A big plus was the terrace upstairs with a grill and outdoor patio, as well as the free washing machine! The area itself was perfect! A little bit of a walk to the subway in order to get downtown, but there were so many restaurants and bars around, we didn't need to leave the area if we didn't want. We walked (30-45 minutes) to the horse racing tracks, the large parks in Palermo, the zoo and the botanical gardens. We would definitely recommend staying here if you want to be close to the heart of Palermo and not right in the middle of the city center!!
