Both the apartment itself and Christian, our host, were perfect.
The apartment is ideally located, a short or moderate walk to many of the city's attractions. We particularly liked strolling through the local markets, explorinng the convoluted side streets, and taking in some of the wondrous architecture of Palermo. Giardino Garibaldi is only a couple blocks away, and is an utterly beautiful place, a relaxing area in a busy city.
The apartment itself was fabulous. Exceptionally clean, well-decorated, and functional. The bathroom in particular was great - a very large room that reminded us of some high-end American bathrooms. The apartment was on the corner of the building, and looked out onto Piazza Borsa (sp?) and (from a balcony that provided a wonderful air flow to the bedroom) a tiny side street.
A light sleeper who sleeps with the windows open might be a little annoyed at the street sounds that filter up to the bedroom. We just enjoyed it as part of the ambiance of this incredible city.
Our host Christian was great - kind, understanding, knowledgeable - in short, the perfect host.
We recommend this place highly, and we hope to be able to return and stay there.
