Marcela is a great host. She met us when we arrived and quickly responded to any queries. She arranged a taxi for a great price to take us to the airport and her husband Manuel arrived shortly before we left to confirm details with the cab driver. They are both lovely and gracious people.
The apartment is in Palermo in a nice neighbourhood with plenty of shops and restaurants. The subway is a 15 minute walk and it is close to a major road with plenty of cabs. There is traffic noise but it is quiet inside with the balcony doors closed. The air conditioning works well and the apartment has all the basics needed for an extended stay. The king-sized bed is comfortable and has nice linens. The apartment is best suited for two people. It has a couple of English language cable news stations. The wi-fi works well. There is a small pool on the roof which you will likely have to yourself during the week. The laundry works well and the building is well maintained. The apartment building staff are helpful and friendly. This is an excellent suite for the price.
