Mondello is a superb town to stay in when visiting Palermo; it is much more relaxed than the main city and has a huge sand beach but yet is only a 20min cab to the busy centre. The Villa Coral is a lovely ground floor flat, well decorated and a good size for 2 people to share. I recommend you give it a try. The flat is one street back from the beach and the only thing to be careful of is the road is busy with cars so at night you will hear traffic from the bedrooms. Raimondo was an excellent host, communicating quickly and providing great recommendations and he helpfully provided all the essentials (soap etc.) ready for us.
