Vera's apartment in Palermo is spacious, very stylishly decorated and well-furnished. It has two large bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, and each with a balcony looking out onto the street. The kitchen/dining/sitting areas are modern and equipped with a large dining table, comfortable couch and a TV. There's a supermarket just around the corner from the apartment, a bakery just over the road, and one of Palermo's great food markets a very short walk away. We found the apartment well-located for the sight-seeing and eating out that we wanted to do in Palermo. The apartment is right in the center of things, which is great, but it does make it a little noisy in the early morning traffic and during garbage collections at night. However, you can cut down on the noise by shutting the balcony doors and using the very-efficient air conditioning systems for cooling rather than relying, as we did, on the fans. Vera was a great hostess, very reliable, communicative and helpful. Thank you.
