The only thing more wonderful than Raula's apartment was Raula herself. The apartment was perfectly located, a 1-2 minute walk to the Via Maqueda and main shopping, eating, and historical centers of the city of Palermo. The apartment has a beautiful little porch that overlooks a neat piazza with several great restaurants itself (We had a nice and casual pizza dinner at Frida, and my personal favorite of Ferro di Cavallo is no more than 5 minutes from the AirBnb.) Raula herself is incredibly accommodating and responsive. She gave fantastic recommendations and stayed in touch throughout our stay to continue offering help and ideas/advice. After checking out, we realized we had left earrings at the apartment. Raula had picked them up for us and returned them herself within an hour. I can't say enough great things about Raula and her apartment.
