We went to Palermo with our three children and they agree that the apartment was amazing. They loved the local icecream kiosk and the pizza restaurants near by and especially the chocolate chips brioche from the backers just opposite the front door. We also climbed the roof of the cathedral which was only a short walk from Vera's apartment. Vera was a great host and explained how to get to places including recommending places to eat and how to get the bus to Mondello the beach a 20min bus ride away.
We cooked a couple of times as the kitchen had everything we needed and the market had a great selection of fruit and veg. The apartment was really spacious with plenty of room for the 5 of us. Thank you Vera we hope to come back again.
