We stayed at Alessio's place in September 2016 and I can say it was wonderful time. All the amenities mentioned in the description are there, the room is spacious, sunny and neat. We've even had some welcoming snacks baked by Alessio's mother. We've asked for the iron beforehand and we found a brand new iron waiting for us in the apartment. Downtown is just 10 minutes walk, supermarket is in 5 minutes, and 15 minutes walk would get you to the Capo, a local market with fresh products. Don't want to write too long, just all in all I highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to feel comfortable in Palermo.
