Chiara's apartment is in a great location, handy for the station and airport bus, with the main tourist attractions, shops, bars and restaurants all within easy walking distance. The apartment itself is very spacious and comfortable and has a lovely homely feel, perfect to come back to and relax after a day's sightseeing. It was very well equipped, there was nothing we lacked. The folder of tourist information provided was very helpful, along with local maps and guide books. We didn't actually meet Chiara herself as she was out of town that day, but her cousin Andrea was there to welcome us and show us round the apartment - we arrived very late but even checking in at around 11.30 pm was no problem. We enjoyed our few days in Palermo and would definitely recommend staying at Chiara's place
