Proximity to Palermo sites is excellent as everything is within a couple of blocks. We managed to walk to all of the interesting sites. Apartment had a full kitchen that we used. Close access to the Ballaro market. Palermo is inexpensive when compared to Taormina if you are touring Sicily.
Not a particularly good location if you are driving a car as the nearby parking lot could be full when you arrive. We were able to find free parking but did notice others circling looking for an empty parking space.
