The place is greatly located. Near the university and major hospitals. The area as most of Palermo is very safe even at late hours. Palermo is a gritty city and the modern decor of the apt makes a great respite from it .
If you are a light sleeper this place is not for you just because you will hear the ambulances but otherwise the apt wouldn’t be better. If you travel from USA you should know that in Italy there is a tax that will be charged upon arrival per person. It is just a few bucks and you will get a receipt for it . The place is close to all things and in Palermo you must walk everywhere: do not expect taxis or bus services, you will not need them anyway .
I highly recommend this place and Daniele was the best host . I will surely comeback
