Fabio's place was very comfortable and had a lot of character, it is also stylish and spacious and offers a great location to explore Palermo by foot. Fabio was also very friendly and helpful.
It's literally 5-10 minutes walk from loads of nice restaurants and bars on Via Vittorio Emanuele, and about 15 minutes walk from the central point of Palermo, Quattro Canti. Crucially it's around 15 mins walk to Palermo Centrale, so getting to the airport, Cefalu and Agrigento by train was super easy.
The only thing is that the street may be fairly noisy at night with the nearby hotel doing their daily chores in the early hours of the morning (eg emptying glass bottles very noisily in the bin) but this is a nice place for a good stay guaranteed.
