Nice apartment, close to the center although not the best area (not much lighting and a bit dirty, but we did not encounter anything/anyone unpleasant so maybe it's just a feeling). The host was incredibly nice and accommodating. My friends arrived earlier so Massimiliano took care of them, organized place in a restaurant for them and suggested sites to visit, there were snacks and water/tea/coffee/juice waiting for us which in this heat was so helpful. Overall definitely would recommend it as the Palermo cathedral with an amazing view of the city is barely few minutes by foot away and there is a lot of nice restaurants and bistros nearby.
