We wish we had booked for a longer stay at Casa Professa. This apartment is a gem in a convenient location just a couple of blocks from the Ballaro Street Market and across from Casa Professa or Church of the Gesu.

The bed is comfortable, there is plenty of good hot water for showers (though the shower stall is a bit small), and wi-fi is good and strong. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans as well as good pantry items. The apartment is nicely decorated as the photographs in the listing show and we found it really comfortable. It is not spacious, but everything is well placed so you don't feel cramped.

The building has an elevator for which we were grateful when taking our luggage up 4 or 5 floors. We loved hanging out in the apartment and watching all the activity on the streets below. It's a small street so you don't get major traffic, but noises echo up as in most cities with narrow streets. At night the bar across the street got noisy until rather late at night but with windows shut and earplugs it was no problem for us.

It's about a 10- 15 minute walk to the train station and an even shorter walk to many attractions and restaurants in Palermo.
Leo was very gracious and picked us up at the train station (we had a very late arrival) as well as took us to the train station when we left. A great host.

Casa Professa is highly recommended.
