The apartment is ideally located, just at the beginning of the atmospheric and historic, labyrinthine Capo district, but still within very short walks of both the cathedral and the centre of town. It should be noted however that the steep, narrow streets won't be as accessible for some - and there are very narrow, steep steps to get to the second floor where the apartment is.
The apartment itself is very well furnished and was extremely clean, with modern fittings and a fresh atmosphere. It's relatively spacious, and with a well-appointed kitchen and a dining table suitable for eating or working if needs be. One small issue in the summer months (which are very hot indeed!) - the air-conditioner is in the front room, and doesn't reach the bedroom very well where you're more likely to want to feel its effects! Overall however this is a comfortable and very well positioned spot from which to explore different parts of Palermo.
