The apartment is in a good location, not too far a walk from the historical centre and there’s a bus stop down the road which takes you to the central station (where you can go to Cefalu for the day) or to Mondello, which is Palermo’s local beach. Gizi was an excellent host, very quick to reply to any messages and she gave us good recommendations on where to go. The building has a doorman and when he is not there, the main door to the building is locked and it all feels very safe.
The flat is big and airy and has everything you need: aircon, towels, coffee machine, a great kitchen with all the appliances you need, TV, WIFI, and the highlight, a lovely balcony which a view over the mountains.
For anyone wanting to visit Palermo, I would definitely recommend staying here, we had a lovely holiday and were sad to leave.
