Myself and girlfriend have just returned from a lovely stay at Giuseppe's apartment in Palermo. His place is beautifully presented, spacious, comfortable and clean with all the facilities you could need for a city stay especially if you're partially self catering. Perfectly located in the heart of the city and literally a stones through away from two of the grand Politeamas , the most exclusive shopping street and with lots of little local cafes, bars, restaurants on your doorstep. Of course there's more to Sicily and Palermo than the city centre so we visited beautiful Mondello beach and also made a trip to Cefalu (highly recommended by us), all of this is cheap and easy due to the excellent train and bus services in Palermo which are very easily accessed from this location. Of course if you don't want to venture out one day it's very enjoyable watching the local hustle and bustle from the wonderful terrace.
To sum up - the apartment is excellently located, very well maintained and clean. Giuseppe is the perfect host and easy to reach should you need to. Very highly recommended!
