We absolutely loved our stay here. The area has a lot of local charm, the streets outside are bustling with scruffy flea markets every morning (listen out for the little street food vans selling gelato filled brioche and Sfincione to the traders) and Ballaro market is only 5 mins walk away. It’s also well situated to be walking distance from most of the sights and markets of Palermo, and easy to get to from the airport - either by bus or a shared taxi which are easy to find at the airport, and take you to the central station which is only a 10/15 min walk away. The apartment was sparkling clean, had everything we needed and felt homely. We were greeted by Marinella who was so kind and helpful throughout our stay. It is indeed noisy, but it feels atmospheric - it’s nice to sit out on the balcony in the evening and people watch, and the commotion in the mornings feels fun! For sleeping I found earplugs did the trick.
We hope to be back one day, and have many fond memories of this characterful place.
