The apartment is well situated at the beginning of the downtown. We explored on foot the main sites up to the Cappella Palatina (20-30 min walk). We were happy to be able to leave the car parked (two blocks away at the piazza) and be able to explore on foot and enjoy the vibrant evenings as well as the morning market in Ballaro'. The apartment is in an old building, with small cozy rooms, as to be expected of "centro storico" buildings, but it is reasonably maintained and clean. Our host was flexible with our check in and kind. Good value.
