Carmelo welcomed me, my partner, and our two young daughters with thoughtful touches and kindness. His apartment was perfect for all of us, and our kids loved finding the lego sets and other little toys he had stashed around. The sleeping arrangements were perfect, the kitchen was very well stocked, and the terrace was a gorgeous place to enjoy. Half the time the kids just wanted to stay there! Highly highly recommend for families, groups of friends, or just if you want a little more space for one or two in an excellent locations that's both close to the train station, but enough into the old quarter to get the full experience. Minutes from the Ballarò market, and anywhere from 5-20" to main tourist attractions including i quattro canti, la cattedrale, la chiesa di San Cataldo, and more! Easily walkable to the nightlife of the Vucciria, and also the port.
