Sandra and her husband have a lovely modern apartment near the center of Palermo, walking distance to the main shopping street, museums and the Cathedral. Our room was comfortable, and we had a private bath and the use of the living room and kitchen. It was a short walk to a nearby cafe for breakfast, and excellent restaurants were within 10 blocks from their home. The wonderful Museo Archeologico with artifacts from the historic site of Selinunte is also walking distance. On the street level is a friendly neighborhood restaurant specializing in cous cous. Note that access to the apartment requires walking up three long flights of stairs, no elevator available.
