Great place for exploring the inner streets of Palermo. The surrounds are of true bustling inner city life on the narrow cobblestone streets...lots if markets and outdoor cafes and restaurants. The apartment is close to all museums train and bus stations. However the noise at night was uncomfortable for us. There were lots of motorcycles racing around the streets and the general noise of people talking arguing and interacting was always present. If you don't mind this then the apartment is ideal. It was clean and basic.
