After a long day of driving we arrived in Palermo at rush hour and our wonderful host came to meet us in her motorcycle at the train station where we were parked to escort us to the apartment. I was grateful and impressed by the kind gesture, it was the greatest welcome. The apartment is just like the pictures. It is located across a park in a quiet corner of an authentic neighborhood walking distance from the touristic sights in the old town. It has been meticulously renovated and includes details like a dishwasher and a Nespresso coffee maker, it is spacious with windows in every room except for the bathrooms. A small balcony with table and chairs overlooks the palm trees in the park. It is truly lovely and would not hesitate in staying there for a couple of weeks. Chiara discussed with us the sites we could see in our 1 day stay and recommended 2 restaurants for the 2 nights we were there. We followed her recommendations and we were not dissapointed. She has a folder ready for her guests with all sorts of information and she takes her time to answer all questions. She also made arrangements for us to be able to park our car in a parking garage around the corner from her place for the one night we had the car before returning it. Chiara is a native from Palermo but communicates very well in English which allowed for a fluid interaction. I would certainly stay at Chiara's apartment again in the future and I enthusistcally recommend this venue for your stay in Palermo.
