The apartment is located in one of the best neighborhoods in Palermo and we really enjoyed our stay there. It is really close to the main streets with restaurants, cafes and markets. You can reach most tourist attractions (the central station, the botanical garden, the cathedral, the Norman palace, the port, etc) within 20 minutes walking distance and save money on public transport.
The view from the balcony is worth mentioning too. You can enjoy your morning coffee or evening there.
What can be considered a disadvantage is that it's located on the top floor without an elevator. That wasn't a problem for us but if you carry heavy suitcases, you might want to know that in advance.
The internet connection was a bit slow at times so keep that in mind if you are carrying your laptop for work.
Our stay was very pleasant and we thank the hosts for their hospitality! Would recommend!
