Gaia's apartment is the best place to stay in Palermo. Located on the third floor of a historic building with a lovely view of the piazza and the hills beyond, it offers a central location and the opportunity to wake up to the sound of birds. The apartment itself is stylishly restored in an attractive mix of sleek modernity with period features. The neighborhood is full of restaurants and cafes and comes alive for lunch and in the evening. But it is also Giulia, the co-host, herself who makes a difference, probably the most helpful and professional Airbnb host we have encountered over the years. She went well beyond the call of duty to help us. Overall, I recommend the apartment highly.
