Fabio's place is very rusticly-styled and cute large studio. It is easy to access and close to what feels like "real" Palermo. It is one street from the beach and close to some nice restaurants-- would definitely recommend the barbeque restaurant down the street.
The apartment is a bit loud at night, since it's one floor from the ground and in a narrow street. Any noise made on it will wake you up if the windows/doors are open (which they would be if it's any time but a hot summer night).
