The apartment was really lovely and a little quirky, which we enjoyed. The views from the windows and balcony are wonderful and a joy to behold. Calogera is also a great host, friendly, welcoming and helpful. However the location could be a challenge for some, as its in a narrow, residential lane which is rubbish strewn (as is most of Palermo) and within a mostly migrant community, some of whom like to sit drinking and arguing in the small bar/cafe below most nights. As women we didn't always feel safe in the lane late at night. Overall it's a great place for a short stay.
