I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay in Palermo. Stepping outside everyday to a lively neighborhood market of secondhand treasures was heartwarming and gave me a glimpse of real, non-touristy Palermo. Then I could walk 5
minutes to Ballarò market and get a fresh orange or pomegranate juice, marvel at the produce and fish, and say hi to the vendors. A slice of life ! Caffè Nero Amaro on Corso Tukory had great coffee and the restaurant right across the street had good pizza.
The apartment is tiny but perfectly habitable for a single person (or a couple I imagine would be ok). Everything is perfectly organized to maximize efficient use of space. Beyond that, and most importantly, it has great energy !
The hosts were friendly and communicative. I extended my stay by 5 days because I loved it so much. If you want to see Palermo as the living, breathing city of many cultures and unofficial economies that it is, this is the place to stay! <3 I’ll be back !
