Laura's place was a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of Palermo. Our one-month stay went very smoothly and Laura's associate, Ruggero, was very responsive and helpful. He changed our linens and towels weekly and left us some basic groceries to get started - so kind! The space is actually bigger than it looks in the photos, with two balconies and views of Palermo street life (and cats) that cheered us every day. The bed, in particular, was very comfortable, and Ruggero made sure we had an extra duvet for the chillier nights in December. The flat is an 8-10 minute walk from the main restaurant drag on Via Maqueda, less than five minutes from the Capo market, and a stone's throw from the cathedral and the Norman palace. The area is a little quiet and dark at night; as part of a couple we felt safe, but YMMV if you are a solo traveler. Still, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura's flat for anyone looking for an authentic neighborhood experience, steps from the action.
