Concetta's apartment is highly original and in a fascinating district for seasoned travellers. The apartment is enormous and the outdoor living on the two terraces is superb. The street life and street food were quite an experience, although it should be noted by the less fit that there are 80 steps between apartment and street. Getting about Palermo was relatively easy either by walking or taking public buses from nearby Politeama. The bakeries, bars and restaurants in the immediate area are good.
