Ana Maria's apartment is absolutely stunning. It is incredibly spacious and overlooks a park with botanica gardens. It felt like a very safe part of the city within walking distance to many great restaurants and bars. the place itself is beautiful and clean, to the point where it was tempting to just stay inside! but center palermo is just a 20 minute walk through a nice part of town with many bars/restaurants along the way. would highly recommend the botanical garden since is just outside!
