We chose this apartment because of the location (close to the harbour where we would be taking the boat for Genua) and the roof terrace. The terrace was amazing: very big with views of the city and the mountains behind it plus the harbour with all its activity. The apartment itself is also spacious. As other people have commented it does feel a bit strange to have an open connection to the floor below where people can be, but your privacy is very well respected. The kitchen is quite small, so not for big dinners, but fine for simple meals. And the location is fine. A 20 minute walk takes you into the heart of the city, but the area itself is also nice to walk through and enjoy the life on the streets of Palermo. Communication with Giuliana was great and when we arrived her father was there to greet us.
