Great location to see the old town of Palermo. However, as it was just us 3 girls, we did not feel that safe as men would be on the corner of the street watching us enter the building... a bit odd. It will be fine for a group of people with guys. Enough space for 4 people. The shower is small and there didn't seem to be enough hot water for more than 2 of us - a lot of cold showers but the weather was hot so it wasn't so bad. There are a lot of restaurants and cafes nearby for nice meals, which was great! Also great location to get trains and buses to beaches and other towns nearby.
