Barbara's loft was really nice and spacious! We were blown away even before we entered, because the door was huge and grand! It was also well-equipped and nicely furnished. There were photos on the wall showing how they renovated the place, which was a nice touch and very interesting! The kitchen was sufficient for simple cooking, the bed was comfortable and the mozzie killing device was handy to have around. It was really quick to walk from the Palermo train station and the Ballaro Market was so close and so full of activity! We tried most of Palermo's street food from there and also got some fresh vegetables and meat for cooking.
