The flat is very spacious and spotlessly clean, with two good bedrooms efficient aircon and two good shower rooms. It is just on the edge of the historic centre and although you couldn’t call it a smart area, it is FAR more interesting than the posher parts and we never felt nervous going home at night. It’s also really close to all the good stuff and to the railway/bus station. We really felt we were living in Palermo, not just looking at it from a hotel balcony. Highly recommended.
