I highly recommend Alfredo's apartment - it is a cozy, comfortable apartment with an open-air feeling from the 3 sets of French doors leading out to a stunning wrap-around patio lined with beautiful plants and an unbelievable view of the Palermo coast. The location is perfect for sightseeing (no car required although Alfredo assisted us with parking of our rental car for the 3-nites we stayed there) and walking to museums, shopping, street markets, etc. We enjoyed our morning coffee and al fresco dinner on the patio with views of the coast on one side and the Palermo city rooftops and mountains on the other side. The apartment included many thoughtful touches (bathroom amenities, kitchen setup, sightseeing brochures, maps, notepads, pens, binoculars, extra linens, clothesline, etc.) and Alfredo was very thorough in providing us with a walkthrough of the apartment to ensure we understood where to find things and how to use the TV, AC, shower, etc.). Because we had been traveling we needed some laundry cleaned and Alfredo coordinated this for us with a speedy 24-hour turnaround.
Overall, we had a delightful stay in Palermo based on Alfredo's friendly helpful assistance and his beautiful rooftop apartment. We hope to return next year!
