The view from Toni's apartment is stunning and the location was perfect for both sightseeing in the old town, eating out and public transport around the city / out of town. The flat was spacious, quiet and homely and the efficient air-con in the bedroom was very welcome on our hot august visit ! The location is not difficult to find once you get to the Teatro Massimo and both the area and the block of flats is very 'authentic' Palermo. We were met by Toni's brother who showed us where to find local shops etc. I would use this apartment again - but you must be fit for the climb up four flights of stairs as there is no lift !!
