The pictures do not do this beautiful apartment justice. Then views from the terrace and even the bathroom are incredible! We loved sitting on the terrace and watching the church bells being rung, smelling garlic wafting up from kitchens below, and listening to the revelry happening all around.
The apartment is really well decorated and fairly comfortable - except maybe for the creepy clown painting that stares at you while you lie in bed, haha. The bed itself is extremely comfortable - one of the best sleeps we had in Sicily.
The air con works well in the bedroom and drowns out the street noise. Opening the windows and doors allows for a wonderful breeze.
The kitchen was easy to use and had everything we needed to prepare simple meals with ingredients purchased nearby.
It is well located for dining and an easy walk to shopping, markets, and the harbor.
Beware the hawkers! You know, the guys who stand out in front of each restaurant and try to harass/lure people into eating there. You will not be able to get to and from the apartment without passing a dozen or so of them, and they don't like taking no for an answer - even if you've just turned them down twenty minutes earlier.
Also, don't book this place if you're unable to handle lots of stairs, because you'll be earning those amazing top floor views!
DO visit Angelo's wood art workshop on the next alley to the north!
The hosts were communicative, kind, and helpful. We loved staying here and can't wait to return to Palermo for some in-depth exploring (with lighter luggage next time)!
