We stayed in this fantastic apartment for a week; it’s spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It’s well appointed – we had everything we needed. The kitchen is adequate, we didn’t cook as there are so many options for eating out just a few steps from the main door. The outside space is great: there is a small balcony off the bedroom on the Via Maqueda where there is always something happening – we saw 2 parades and a procession. There is a small terrace off the kitchen overlooking the side street and a further larger terrace up a small flight of steep stairs (we didn’t use this as the kitchen terrace was sufficient).
The location is excellent, right in the centre of Palermo, great both for sightseeing and for all day entertainment. As mentioned previously it is noisy, but that’s the downside of being where the action is.
Antonio was wonderful; he answered all our (many) questions and gave us good inside knowledge on what to see, where to eat etc. He also ensured we had everything we needed – nothing was too much trouble.
As emphasised in other reviews, you need to be aware of the stairs – there are about 90 up to the apartment so you soon learn not to forget anything when going out!
I would thoroughly recommend this apartment – and Antonio as a host.
