Eileen is a personable host. She was helpful from the initial contact through to our arrival in Palermo and during our stay at her wonderful apartment. We were greeted personally by Eileen at the apartment and were treated to some local refreshments. Eileen made sure the three of us had immaculate ( separate) sleeping arrangements and offered advice and tips on Palermo. The apartment is large with a characterful living / open kitchen area. We were staying to work on a project in the Palermo area and the apartment offered all the comforts of a home away from home all be it a bit more exotic... The rooms are airy which is great in the Sicilian climate. The bathrooms are new and function beautifully. The whole place is a lovely mix of new and old, Italian and more Northern influences ( like Eileen...) It's inspired, tasteful and intimate. The location is ideal for exploring all treats that Palermo has to offer. We loved having freshly ground morning coffees at the Caffe Marracana on the opposite street corner. All together a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended !!
