Manuela is a lovely host who was able to meet us upon arrival and show us around the apartment. The apartment is just as described and allowed us to have a lovely stay in Palermo. The balcony was a huge benefit and we enjoyed evenings overlooking the harbour and the sunset with some wine.
A heads-up though about the busy street below, otherwise had no problems with the apartment or area. There apartment is very close to a square with nice restaurants and a short walk to a small city beach. Manuela was kind enough to provide some fruits and drinks for our arrival and kept in contact during our stay. Would recommend without a doubt. Thanks!
