My father and I had the pleasure of visiting Palermo at the first stop on our two week road trip to Sicily.

Alice's apartment was a very nice base for us during three nights and two days in Palermo in the end of April. Alice was there to welcome us even though we got in close to midnight and she was very helpful both before and during our visit to meet or needs and answer or questions.

The location is quite convenient for visiting the Palatine Chapel...just minutes away and you want to get there early to avoid the crowds...also close to big square and busses and easy to walk to the market and down town!

The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and big enough for two people. There is a double bed upstairs and the couch downstairs folds into a couch as well. If you plan on using both - let Alice know, so she can prepare the linen. The terrace was a lovely addition to have breakfast, chill or dinner if you plan on cooking at home.

It is actually situated on the ground floor, so no stairs to climb...in the morning, you can hear people leaving, but that just adds to the charm of living in a "real" building and not a hotel :-)

Only other point to mention is, that the apartment might not be well suited, if you are 1.90+m tall as there are some low beams upstairs and you would have to crouch in the shower.

Otherwise I would definitely recommend staying at Alice's place in Palermo! Thanks for having us Alice :-)
