Vanda gave us lots of information (and even booked a cab to the airport for our return trip)....and the apartment was in a brilliant location…not the most affluent part of town but certainly interesting lively and friendly….we felt at home almost immediately. The apartment itself was comfortable and well equipped with a fabulous view from the roof terrace and easy access to everything….(the market is virtually on the doorstep)….however…. don’t stay here if you have mobility issues as the stairs to the terrace are steep and slightly awkward to negotiate …having said this the youngest our party was 63 and the oldest 71 and we were fine... but a definite no no for people with young children. Palermo is a fascinating city with lots to see…if you have limited time…prioritise a visit to the Palazzo die Normanni…the mosaics are utterly stunning….also try and catch a night at the opera in the Teatro Massimo..the interior is dramatically beautiful.... and all very near the apartment!
