Wonderful, spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated apartment located walking distance to all the main attractions in Palermo. The neighborhood was pleasantly quite at night, located very close to the vibrant Ballaro market, in a family housing complex you enter with a key through a huge wooden door, so traveling as a single woman, I felt very safe. Claudia was a most gracious host with a kind disposition who responded to all my needs and I felt like I made a new life long friend. Claudia and her apartment , both gold like the splendid mosaics of the Norman Palace in the heart of a spectacular Mediterranean city.
