We were looking for an apartment with a fantastic view and in easy walking distance to Palermo's major points of interest. Vanda's apartment was perfect. We enjoyed staying in the Il Capo district and living within a typical neighbourhood which provided us with a unique glimpse at local life. Vanda was an excellent host. We provided our itinerary in advance, and sent her an SMS upon arrival the airport. We were delayed by about 45 minutes, however Vanda met us in a nearby piazza and escorted us to the apartment. She was very friendly, and spent quite a bit of time helping us formulate an itinerary for our 2 day visit. Her recommendation to have dinner at the nearby Restaurant Spano was spot on, and we enjoyed it very much. The view from the apartment was AMAZING....can't understate this!! Some other commentors have warned about the stairs. Honestly, we didn't think it was a big deal (family of 2 adults and 3 children)....any reasonably fit person should think nothing of it. The flat is very clean, has all the necessary amenities in the kitchen, the wifi worked well. We slept very well...fully expected crazy noise from Palermo's curious streets, however the night was surprisingly quiet. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone seeking a nice standard accommodation in a unique, authentic neighbourhood with an awesome view.
