If you want a place to stay in Palermo that is quirky, characterful and in the best location possible, then stay here. The neighbouring square is beautiful and safe and within walking distance of everything. The flat could do with new furnishings (eg. Curtains too small and uncomfortable/old mattresses) and some maintenance (eg. Shower takes a long time to get hot). The general cleanliness could be better, but the guests before us had apparently treated the apartment badly and left it in a messy state. Sarah the host is great: she responds quickly, made sure our car was parked safely for free, and gave us an amazing dinner suggestion for the first night which we went to and loved. Not a bad place for a short-term stay in Palermo.
