Francesca and Nicola's apartment in Palermo is great! The Kalsa district is very cool with nice bars and independent boutique shops - if you stay here make sure to check out Scolapasta (e bellissima!) and Castigamatti Dischi e Bar. We stayed here for just over a month and it was a great place to remotely work from (although we did have to take over the dining room table and turn it into our desk). Would highly recommend this place - great value for money and a lovely family.
