The apartment did not disappoint. It was clean, well presented with nice personal touches, i.e. 2 large bottles of mineral water left in the fridge, espresso pods for the espresso maker, sugar, salt, olive oil in the cupboard, spare toilet rolls, towels, etc. Piera was super fast at responding to any enquiries and was very good at advising all the sights and restaurants to visit. The location was down a quiet alley, bang in the historic centre, where everything was within 15 mins walk. It was super easy to get there from Palermo airport - take the coach right outside the airport (you can either buy the tickets online or at the airport), and ask the driver to drop you off at the 2nd last stop, across the street from La Rinascente (a large department store that is hard to miss - a very modern, minimalistic building). The apartment is only 5 minutes walk from the bus stop. To return to the airport, the coach will pick you up directly in front of La Rinascente! The central train station is only 15 minutes walk from the flat, so it was great to jump on a train for a day trip to Cefalu. You will be spoilt for choice with so many great places to eat very close to the apartment, and such a concentration of character and historic buildings within the vicinity. In a few previous reviews, people mentioned about the noise from the streets till late at night, but this wasn’t very loud, and if you are going to enjoy the nightlife, it would have stopped by the time you get to bed.
Thank you Piera for your attentiveness and making our trip to Palermo so effortless!
