If you are looking for a safe, clean and comfortable way to see how local Palermoans live this is it. The unit is located in the middle of a very residential area, walking to the local bakery, cafe, restaurant is easy. There are VERY steep stairs to the unit -- 3 flights -- easily done if you pack light. The unit is a few blocks from Massimo Teatro so many sights and beautiful architecture area near. The washing machine was a very big help.
