We stayed in Palermo for just one night, and Valentina's place was the best part of the visit. Palermo was far too dirty, hot, loud, crowded and stinky for me in July, but Valentina's place was a reprieve from all of that. Just a short walk down to the main tourist area, the apartment is modern, newly renovated and well-equipped. Our hosts were thorough and responsive, and helped us get checked in and out easily, in addition to helping with the parking permits.
