A truly wonderful stay in a perfect location. Firstly, the location, adjacent to a centuries old church in quiet, beautiful part of Palermo at the heart of old Arab quarter. It could not be better located. Five minutes one way is the sea, five minutes another way a beautiful piazza and site of the local flea market. It is walkable to absolutely everything. Francesca is a delightful host, great communicator and all round lovely person. Took us from the airport and back - a real help and really appreciated. Made suggestions, was always at the end of whatsapp if needed. The apartment itself is huge, the water nice and hot - with a bathtub and a shower. It is spotlessly clean but tastefully decorated with lots of books and places to sit. The terrace is lovely for morning coffee, all plants and sunlight and a lovely advantage. The wifi works well. The bed is really comfy with a good duvet, which you appreciate as Palermo can get chilly at night in feb. Kirchen is well equipped and there is a washing machine. But as they say in real estate - this is a very great, not that touristy old part of old palermo, it is wonderful just wandering from here. Around the corner is a fabulous pizza joint Passione et Tradicione, five minutes away a stunning ruined cathedral/ex-convento that has been turned into a stunning and big music venue, half open air in the old church. I cannot speak highly enough of this place - if you want something that feels really Palermo and not a sanitised tourist spot - this is for you. oh yeah, Carrefour supermarket is only about a 7 min walk and is great. Lovely place run by a lovely person.
