The apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean. Carlos was very kind and offered to pick us up at the train station. His son came with him, introduced us to the neighborhood and explained the workings of the apartment. All communications were efficient and prompt; Carlos was always available to answer questions. He helped us order a taxi for an early trip to the airport on departure. The neighborhood was lively, a bit noisy due to road construction but we enjoyed the local color. Restaurants and supermarkets were nearby. It quieted down at night, and the bedroom was in the back away from the street. We would happily stay there again, should we have the opportunity to return to Palermo.
