Very great location. The location made it easygoing dii oh everything we wanted to do. There are so many fun bars and restaurants in walking distance. It is in Vucciria which is a very trendy part of the old town. And it is easy to walk to every place. Also getting to the train station to visit Mondello (the beach about 25 minutes by car or 40 by two buses) and Cefalu (train for about an hour, by TrenItalia) was extremely easy and close. Also a bus (C&P) from the airport takes you within walking distance to the AirBnB. We used a Moovit to get around.
The place was extremely clean, had everything you need. We did not cook at the AirBnB but it had everything we needed if we chose to cook. All appliances were brand new. The building is completely renovated. Some building nearby are not renovated. It’s a mix of both.
It was an amazing trip and the AirBnB location and atmosphere was part of why it was great.
The noise is problematic if you go to bed early and do not go out to the bars, and if you are a very light sleeper. But mostly the closed shutters and windows keep the noise to a minimum.
