Francesco's apartment was great! It is about a 5 minute walk to the beach, the piazza, or many restaurants. Our little kids also loved the small amusement park that was closely situated to the apartment. There is a nice outdoor space but we constantly got bitten by mosquitos when we were out there so perhaps bring some insect repellant. The air conditioning units worked great. There is also an outdoor shower that was very nice to have. There is a bus stop to head into Palermo about 2 minutes walk from the apartment. Francesco also provided us a trustworthy taxi driver to take a couple of trips, because many taxi drivers in the area try to rip off customers. Overall, we had a great experience.
