Staying in this apartment made us feel a bit like royalty. It is a gorgeous space. The views are spectacular, particularly from the terrace, and light pours into every room. It was a joy just to walk into the building, which is over 300 years old. The location is near the central train station, next to the Ballaro market. Major sights, such as the Cappella Palatina, are about a 15 min walk. Tip: Don't miss the church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti and its cloister.
A few things to note: this apartment is not for the mobility-impaired. It is 122 steps to the apartment, with no elevator. The shower in the back bedroom is so tiny that it would be difficult for a very large person to bend over to pick up the soap. The front room of the apartment was very cool in December, so we didn't really use it much. And the apartment is noisy when the market is in full swing. Luckily, the market is quiet at night, and we had no trouble sleeping. The wifi was strong. I would definitely return.
