I knew that this apartment was in the historic district but I could not believe how wonderful the location was until we arrived. We took a bus from the Palermo airport (buy round trip because it's cheaper) to the central station. From there it was about a 10 minute walk into the historic district to the apartment. We were right off of the main road, a ten minute walk to the water with an amazing park for children, and less than five minutes from a grocery store. We easily walked to all of the main attractions and had multiple shops and restaurants almost right outside our door. The apartment came with a crib for my toddler which was just what we needed. Roberto was very helpful, showed us around, and gave us recommendations for restaurants. He even sent me a picture of the train schedule when I asked about some sightseeing in southern Sicily.
