We enjoyed our stay at Giorgio's flat in Palermo. It was very centrally located and close to public transportation that could take us anywhere we wanted to go. We even rented a car from nearby Sicily By Car (we wanted to take some day trips outside the area). The parking garage that Sicily by Car provides was a short walk away. You are close to the street markets and there are many restaurants nearby. The apartment was spotlessly clean inside and we made a few of our own meals there. It was quiet and we felt safe in the area. Giorgio's brother was there to meet us. It is very easy to get to the apartment via shared taxi from the airport or by using the airport shuttle, which has a stop right outside the apartment on the main street.
