Marina was wonderfully communicative, met me upon arrival, and helped explain the neighborhood. The apartment is conveniently situated between the Mercato del Capo and the Teatro Massimo opera. After a communal entry, there are individual apartments. My apartment consisted of a full bathroom and kitchenette, and an individual room with courtyard balcony, and a/c with remote. It was just what I needed. It's a great space for a single independent traveler or a young couple looking to visit the sites of Palermo.
