Laura's place is a beautiful treat in Palermo. The apartment is impeccable, has every commodity that you may need, from abundant hot water to a huge kitchen with all the appliances necessary to cook a great meal with all the fresh produce you can find in the area. The bedrooms are super comfortable and very clean. The same goes for the bathrooms.
Laura's family left all sorts of treats for breakfast and were very helpful and patient (we got lost in Palermo and were over an hour late to meet them).
The neighborhood seemed a little scary at night to the adults in our group, but my husband and I ventured out a few nights and found bars with young people very close by, an improve theater a few meters from the apartment and we easily walked to Teatro Massimo and other sites from here.
There are quite a few stairs to get to the apartment (and inside too) so if this is not easy for you, keep that in mind. If that's not a problem, then stay here and you will love this beautiful apartment!
