Stefania's place is great for exploring Palermo and other parts of Sicily. I noticed some people's reviews mentioning the neighbors playing music. They do play music but never too early and never late. Also, I found that part of the experience and charm of being in Palermo, hearing the people across the alley play italian music. If you like the city nightlife this is an ideal location. Stefania was always so helpful. Her neighbor Giacoma is wonderful too!
