I had a really nice stay at The terraces of Marilyn. Theresa is a very nice host who made me feel at home in her house. Every morning she offered me 'caffe' for breakfast and made me use everything in her house without any problem. We shared the kitchen so I met her often in the morning and we always had a chat, she explained me a lot about Palermo and the Sicilian culture, which was really nice.
The room is really cute and nice decorated and the house is very clean. The best part of the house though are the terraces! I had to write my thesis when I was staying at her place and I turned this terrace into a study room. There's sunshine until 2 pm and it's very spacious. She rents out a room but it actually feels more like having your own apartment, as it has his own bathroom and terrace. The neighborhood is very tranquil but close to the city center. I bought a bike which I could park in her cortile to make sure nobody could steal it. By bike it takes you 5-10 minutes to get to the Vucciria or Ballarò from Theresa's house, but it's also easy to walk and it's a nice road. I would definitely recommend staying in this room!
