We were met at the apartment by Eileen who was very welcoming and gave us wonderful tips and guidance about Palermo. We especially appreciated her mother's recommendations. The apartment is very attractive and comfortable. The art and books add to the atmosphere. The apartment is very airy which is a benefit during the summer heat and the bedrooms are well air-conditioned. Perfect location if you wish to live within a vibrant Sicilian community and yet still be 10-15 mins from the centre and main tourist attractions. Opposite the apartment we particularly loved Cafe Maracana, brilliantly freshly roasted coffee (roasted on site) and fabulous gin + tonics!
