The place is very well situated within walking distance of the historical part and the sights. The district looks a bit messy but it's safe and friendly, we never had a problem there, even at night. This is real Palermo! Just around the corner, there is a little pizza place (Pizzottando) with a super friendly hostess and delicious pizza, highly recommend it! The apartment itself was comfortable and cosy with everything we needed for our stay. I especially appreciated the blinds on the windows (very useful if you want to sleep in a little) and a cute little balcony where you can have coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. The host, Salvo, was super nice and friendly, open to any request, and always in touch. All in all, it was a very pleasant and authentic experience.
