Anna made us feel very welcome and the apartment is well located for most of what Palermo has to offer.
For lovers of art and those who appreciate a quirky ambience this is the place for you.
However, be prepared for noise and some stair climbing. The kitchen is well equipped and with a market on you doorstep self catering is well provided for.
There is only one basic bathroom with something of a water pressure problem.
As for Palermo it is a fascinating mixture of faded glory and artistic treasures.
Local colour and outdoor music and dancing were a real bonus.
However, you do need to be agile and aware as the narrow lanes were not built for both cars and people and the Vespa riders can take you by surprise!
