Francesco was very helpful, even from distance in Rome, but he did everything to assist us by telephone. The apartment is exactly as described. It is luxurious and has everything to accomade four persons for a pleasant stay. Around the corner is a bakery for daily fresh bread and nearby are supermarkets, bus stops and a parking space. Bus to Palermo center and Mondello beach is done in 20 minutes. I do not advise to drive into Palermo with your own car. It takes a longer and is a near death experience.
