This is a charming apartment, very well located for visiting the wonderful sights in the old city of Palermo. One enters the 18th century building through those large wooden doors you have always wondered what was behind, into an old court yard and up stone steps to the apartment itself. The apartment is well shown in the pictures, old world but clean with high ceilings, large bedrooms and lots of detail, including worn, multicolored tile floors and an eclectic collection of 1950's household items. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen pretty well equipped, the only real sitting room and not very large, but adequate. Giovanni had thoughtfully provided drinking water, butter and jam in the refrigerator and coffee available for making fresh coffee. One bathroom is en-suite, the other is down the main hall from the other bedroom. The en-suite bath is not shower ready but has a handheld; the other bathroom has only a shower. Each is adequate if not elegant. Giovanni is a most accommodating host. Although he speaks very little English, he uses the translation app on his phone to great advantage so we had little trouble once we got used to the routine of speaking into his phone and listening to its translations of his responses. He recommended a good restaurant just around the corner called Mange e Bevi and we found an even better one called Osteria Pantelleria also just around the corner. So, all in all, an excellent stay!
