The place was perfect for our 3 night stay in Palermo. Great location, and the on-site parking was super. Even though we were in the heart of the pedestrian area, the unit was pretty quiet if you closed the main window.

Alessandro met us at the property, gave us a bunch of useful information, maps, etc. Very nice guy, and was available to us when we had questions later. My wife is a coffee connoisseur, and she claimed that the furnished coffee was some of the best, and she had Alessandro find out what the brand was so that she could buy a couple pounds of it to take home with us.

We were able to walk to all of the areas we wanted to see in Palermo, and the unit is right in the middle of the main shopping areas. Good restaurants in the area, and Alessandro's recommendations were excellent. The area to the east of the apartment is more upscale than the area to the west.

One minor point - the circuit breaker by the entrance door popped when we used the hair dryer. Not a big problem, but Alessandro suggested we only use a few electric at devices at a time. We reset the breaker and had no further incidents.

The main street is closed to cars on Sundays from about 10 AM to 8:30 PM. You can get out of the unit by car, but can't get back in until they re-open the streets. Didn't cause any problems for us.

A travel note - Navigating Palermo by car without a GPS or smart phone is virtually impossible. Street names are marked up on the sides of buildings, if they are marked. Most of the time they are not marked. Neither of our cell phones worked in Sicily, even though they were supposed to. I bought an Italian SIM card from TIM for 30 Euros, and it worked fine for us for the 7 days we were in Sicily. Much cheaper than getting a GPS in the rental car.
