Well-situated in the city centre, and just 5 minutes' walk away from the Foro Italico aka pedestrian boardwalk area by the water. Very convenient accessing the city sights by foot from here and there are multiple cafes and small storefronts on the surrounding streets selling typical Palermitan food. Also near Carrefour and Lidl, and not a far walk to get to the famous fresh markets of Il Capo and Ballaro! Night and day the streets are a bit noisy because of the central location, but if you're looking to spend most of the time out then you shouldn't have a problem. (Also, I stayed over the Easter weekend so that definitely added to the noise level).

As for the flat itself, it's very clean (daily cleaning and no shoes inside - so that's perfect) and the bathroom is really well-equipped with toiletries. Alberto has two sweet dogs, so quiet and well-behaved I hardly noticed them except on a couple of occasions, and when I bumped into them outside on their walks :) The kitchen is small but functional, and Alberto pays attention to sorting the waste, which gets an environmental thumbs up. The bedrooms are absolutely massive and also very clean, with good storage space. However, the room I was in was a bit dim even with three light sources, because the walls are a deep red. Also, the room I booked (the one listed here) didn't have the work desk pictured when I checked in, so I requested to take the room beside it which had a desk but quite poor wifi connection - so a win/lose situation, which I wish hadn't happened as I specifically asked about a workspace when I made the booking. However, it's not a big deal as Alberto was very accommodating overall, did warn me in advance about the difference in wifi between the two rooms, and asked me everyday if I was enjoying my stay and whether I needed anything - definitely much appreciated since I was traveling alone! Thank you and wish you all the best! :)
