Myself and my boyfriend stayed at Anna's apartment for 4 nights - we had such a great time! Due to our flight times, we had to check in quite late but Anna made the process so easy and she was already at the apartment waiting for us. The apartment itself is beautiful with lots of homely and traditional Italian touches which was exactly what we wanted. For just the 2 of us, it felt very spacious, and was a place we loved coming back to to relax after hours of exploring. All the amenities worked perfectly and there is even an espresso machine for which Anna left us coffee. The apartment's location is excellent for exploring the historical centre with all it's grand architecture and points of interest (Ballaro Market, Quattro Canti, Cathedrale, Royal Palace, Cappella Palatina and more) and many great places to eat and drink, all within easy walking distance. There's a Lidl right around the corner if you want to stock up on basics like milk, bread, cheese, fruit etc. on a budget. The central station is also a 5 minute walk which made it easy for us to visit Cefalu (1 hour away) for the day. The shuttle bus to the airport also leaves from the station which was very useful as we had an extremely early flight home. Anna left us extensive recommendations on places to eat including the best gelaterias and pizzerias which meant we managed to sample some excellent traditional Sicilian cuisine in very beautiful settings. We recommend that you book a day in advance for some restaurants as they are very popular (with good reason!). She also gave us an extensive list of places of interest for us to visit, some of which we hadn't heard of before coming. All in all, we would definitely recommend staying at Anna's house for your trip if you want to be in the heart of beautiful historical Palermo. We will be back I'm sure!
