Marjolein was a wonderful host and gave us lots of great suggestions for Palermo. She also left us some fabulous fruit and pastries for breakfast. The apartment was sunny and seemed to have a breeze when the windows were open. At night it was a bit hot but if you left the windows open you could hear everything in the street below. That said, the location was ideal and we could walk to anywhere in the historic center. I would happily return.
