We really enjoyed out stay in Palermo at Calogera's apartment. She is an excellent host and really good in her communication. The apartment is very spacious and has everything you need. The balcony/terrace is a great space and we were just a bit unlilucky with the weather!
The apartment is right next to ballaro market which is great for local good. However, it is very lively and at times we felt out of place as tourists walking around the flat. The noise travels up to the apartment as well.
However, the location is excellent for accessing Via Maqueda and many of the cities attractions.
