Gabriele's apartment was a great place for my family and I to stay in over Christmas on our first visit to Palermo. It was spacious, with high ceilings (one even has a fresco painted on it!), and good basic bathroom and kitchen facilities for guests wanting to do simple self-catering. We found we were pretty close to shops, restaurants and public transport (you have to walk for about 10-15 minutes to be in the centre of Palermo) and had a great time checking out the local sights, food and drink. Gabriele has left plenty of information in the apartment for tourists - and we also really appreciated him recommending a couple of good restaurants that were open on Christmas Day. During our stay there were a few minor problems with amenities (water and gas) but Gabriele responded to our messages really quickly and these were swiftly resolved. I'd very much recommend this listing for families with older/adult children, or for groups of friends.
