Francesco and his wife were fantastic hosts and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The apartent is very well maintained, clean and is equipt with everything needed, including air con which was a big bonus. The apartment is ideally located to explore Palermo and for day trips to nearby towns and beaches. There are also local shops for groceries and a nice nearby cafe for breakfast and coffee. If you are renting a car, there is secure parking located at the base of the building. Parking in Palermo is extremely limited so this was a key feature when we booked.
