We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Palermo... even adding an extra day/night at the last minute. Our apartment was centrally located right in the heart of the city. We were surrounded by cafes and restaurants and places of interest were within walking distance. The kitchen is rather small, so if you want to cook on a daily basis it may be a bit challenging; ok for breakfasts though. It can be a bit noisy on Friday/Saturday nights but the atmosphere is amazing.
