The apartment was very conveniently located in Palermo near the Cathedral and the pedestrian-only area. It was clean and had a very large kitchen that would be perfect for cooking meals at home during a vacation. We had the unique experience of arriving in Palermo during snowy weather. We were contacted to make sure we were warm enough and given additional details regarding extra blankets in the apartment. We had no problem with the cold - the heater worked well.
Unfortunately we did not get to meet Alice in person, instead we were contacted by a friend named Fabiana. Fabiana was very friendly and gave us suggestions for what to see in the city and which markets to explore.
Communication regarding when and where to meet for check-in was smooth and easy. However, when we asked for parking suggestions we were told to go to Piazza Indipendenza, which is basically a giant traffic-filled chaotic round about with no parking. Of course, parking and driving in general are challenging in Palermo as an outsider. Ultimately we found street parking on the road leading up to the apartment, which worked fine.
If we return to Palermo again in the future, we'd be happy to stay at Alice's place again!
