This apartment is extremely well located in the heart of historic Palermo and it is a short walk to many of the city's attractions - including churches, the palace, the market, restaurants, bars, and street food markets. The balcony of the apartment overlooks a bustling main street yet the shutters keep the light and sound out in the evenings - which is great. Overall we found the apartment clean and safe and well-located. At the same time, we did encounter a few small difficulties. First, finding the apartment was a challenge. After a plane ride and bus from Palermo airport, we were happy that the apartment would be located within walking distance of the bus station and seemed to be centrally located. Nevertheless, it was very difficult to find because the street is actually a very small alleyway off a main street. We asked several people for assistance finding the street, including taxi drivers, who banded together for us to phone directory assistance in an attempt to locate it. When we did finally reach it, all we could see was a single door in a dark alleyway with no address marker. We rang and nobody answered. We tried phoning the host a few times but had no answer. Finally, we left and headed to the square a short walk away. We tried calling again and reached a friend of the host who told us he was on his way - about 20 minutes away. It was nearly 8pm and we wondered why details about the challenges of finding the apartment (alleyway, no address marker) were not shared with us in advance, When the host arrived he was very nice and took a good amount of time giving us recommendations for things to do and see while in Palermo - which we really appreciated. He also gave us a very helpful map developed by locals which we loved (we visited many of the recommendations). Our second difficulty was the bed. It is actually a single bed made for 1 person and so we really didn't sleep well during our three nights. Finally - note that there is no wifi but the coffee shop in the square next door has wifi and good cappuccinos and the servers are very friendly.
