Irene's apartment was the perfect homebase for my week in Palermo. During the day, I was working there - the highspeed internet allowed for videoconferences. Even when my friend joined the second half of the week, we both had videoconferences at the same time lag-free. The two terraces are great if you stay at the apartment a lot (e.g. for work) and want to get out a little. The apartment is conveniently located in the city center of Palermo directly between Via Roma and the walking street Via Maqueda. All important sights are walkable from here. Irene and her husband also offered to pick me up from the airport for a fee which I happily made use of. Their recommendations for restaurants, bakeries etc. were great picks (I tried to visit all of them but couldn't tick all of them). I'd love to return to Palermo without Covid restrictions and will definitely stay there again. Highly recommended!
