The apartment was exactly as described but the description really didn't do it justice. The original features were beautiful, the view from everywhere either interesting or just gorgeous (the view over the rooftops from the terrace - wow!) and Claudia and Fulvio did everything possible to make us feel welcome.
Palermo is a fascinating and beautiful city and recommend that anyone planning a visit both experience the view from the terrace and the charming hospitality provided by the hosts. (We didn't meet Claudia but thank you again Fulvio, it was a pleasure to meet you.)
