Francesca is a super host. She was fast and responsive before we arrived in Palermo. We communicated in English. She gave us updates in a timely manner. She was very accommodating because we were traveling with a baby. She checked in just the right frequency during our stay to offer help and tips.
She picked us up from the airport and brought us to the apartment and also dropped us off at the end of the trip. That made check-in and check out very easy.
The apartment is in the heart of the Kalsa. The apartment itself is really wonderful. The terrace is a calm and peaceful place to sit and relax. There is a balcony next to the bedroom that is just really nice to stand and look out on the neighborhood from. It’s what you imagine an Italian apartment would be like. It’s well decorated with everything you need.
The neighborhood is really nice. It’s a 15-20 minute walk to the historic center of Palermo. You don’t need a car, we didn’t even need public transportation. There is a mini market around the corner and some neighborhood trattorias near by. Really nice spot.
For this traveling with babies, this apartment works. There is 1 flight of stairs, but it was not a lot of trouble.
