We loved staying at Valerias appartment! First of all, it was incredibly easy to get to from the Palermo airport. We took the "Prestia e Comande" bus from the airport to the very LAST stop at the Central train station. The appartment is a 5-8 minute walk from the Central train station & with Valerias picture with walking directions, it is extremely easy to find. We were only 3 adults, but the apartment is HUGE - it can sleep up to 8 people. There is a wonderful dining area with table that seats 6 with large window shutters that open to small patio. From the patio, you can see & hear the city life of Palermo. The apartment is tremendous value and quality for the money! There is only 1 bathroom, if you have a large group, just be aware of planning your group for showers, etc. the kitchen has a large refrigerator, utensils, plates, mugs, etc. Valeria provided breakfast granola type bars, packaged toast and jam for our arrival. There is a small elevator that fits max 2 people to take you to the apartments 5th floor. The apartments location is within 20-30 minute walking distance to monuments, museums and the coastline. The buses run frequently throughout the city, but the weather was so temperate this October, we decided to enjoy the city & walk. There is an excellent ice cream store "Gelateria Ciccio Adelfio" on the same street as the apartment (within 2 blocks). Valeria & her daughter, Bernadetta go out of their way to show you hospitality! Valeria's husband met us on the street the evening we first arrived to help us walk to the apartment. They spent a great deal of time taking us through the apartment, explaining the shower, te kitchen, showing us on the map where the apartment was in relation to museums, etc. They also made recommendations. If you are fortunate enough to find availability, book this apartment.....it will make your stay in Palermo wonderful! Thank you Valeria and Bernadetta!
