We really enjoyed the apartment in a building on a cute little square behind the San Domenico church. The location is excellent to reach many of the sights in the old parts of Palermo. Walking to the Capuchin catacombs was a bit longer in the June heat but within reach and well worth it.
The space itself is rustic and funky. Good bed arrangement and mattresses. AC worked great in the bedrooms where it was needed after sweltering days! 2 bathrooms but only one really useable stall shower…but no issues with hot water.
Workable kitchen for our minimal breakfasts, the only meal we eat in.
One of the best things about the apartment is the private terrace…we spent the late afternoons there over a bottle of wine and a tagliere made of goodies from the cheese/meat store around the corner on Discesa Maccheronai. Nice to wind down after walking in the heat all day in this lovely outdoor space.
The square outside the building’s gate transforms at night with multiple bistros/bars serving at outdoor tables in the square. I didn’t notice noise from the square but I am a heavy sleeper, especially after a few glasses of wine!
I had a bit of a challenge getting into the area with our rental car the day we left but that was likely just nerves as it was my first time driving in Europe!
