Brigitte welcomed us on arrival having previously been in touch via text after we landed at the airport. She provided good directions for the short walk from the nearby train station where the airport shuttle drops you off.
She talked us through the delightful apartment and the local shops having provided some basics in the fridge along with a well stocked cupboard of basics.
The apartment is excellent having everything you need, being bright and clean, well provided with comfortable furniture. It's clearly a recent refurbishment and has been done very well.
The location is excellent being easy walking distance of the station, the main bus routes, markets (which are wonderful), any number of restaurants, local shops, bars. We tended to walk most of the time but used the buses when wanting to get further afield.
The balcony is ideal for two people and overlooks a lovely park which is used by locals so you share in the local life but is just far enough away from the larger streets to be tranquil.
Palermo is a terrific city, we loved it. So much to see and so pleasant to walk day or night.
