Christian, the location, comfy beds and lots of hot water, in that order makes this a great place for a short visit or long weekend. Christian was incredibly flexible with our arrival and gave us easy directions getting to his apartment, which can be a challenge in this city. Quick tip, if you arriving by air in Palermo, take the bus into the city. Exit the airport and turn right, walk all the way to the end where busses to the city depart at least 2 times an hour. Buy you 6,30 ticket from the driver, load your bags underneath and climb aboard. 50 minutes later you will be in the city. Get off at the Via Roma-La Vucciria stop. You will have less than a five minute walk to Christian's place.
The apartment is small but has everything you need, including earplugs. It's a hopping spot with lots of restaurants and although the noise didn't bother us it may for sensitive sleepers. All the cool attractions are a quick walk from this place.
I would recommend for a couple for a short stay
