The 80 steps up to the flat are worth it for the view. If you're very tall or very wide you might struggle to get onto the roof terrace for a 360 view of Palermo. If you want water out of the taps or a shower turn it on before you need it because it takes a while to get up to the flat. We overlooked any idiosyncrasies because of the views from every window as well as the terrace. Great restaurant right below too. The bedrooms were quiet because no one is above. We loved being right by the Capo market for fruit and veg.
