This is a great hidden sanctuary in a perfect location for exploring Palermo. It is within short walking distance of most/all the major attractions and loads of great restaurants, cafes and bars. Despite this, it was essentially silent at night which we couldn't believe considering the location. The apartment is also nice and cool which is lovely to return to after a hot day out and about. Everything you needed was included - cooking essentials, iron + board, washing machine, ceiling fans, TV with Netflix, a portable speaker, coffee pod machine, ample storage space for clothing, I could go on and on. The beautiful courtyard gets the sun from late morning for a few hours and is a lovely place to have some breakfast or a drink in the evening. Gorgia provided a super thorough and useful welcome pack with many recommendations on what to do, where to go/eat/drink and generally how to do the city like a local whilst enjoying the tourist offerings too. A really nice touch and helpful whether you already planned your itinerary or just like to decide on the day as we did. They were on hand if we needed and we felt confident by the set-up and communication that if we had a problem it would be promptly dealt with. No such problems arose of course. If you are a couple looking for a cool retreat in Sicilian style as a base to explore the city, this is absolutely it. We can't thank enough - Grazie mille!
