The location of this apartment is everything! We stepped out of our taxi into the middle of a wedding party in Quattro Canti, and knew right from the start that we had found the perfect base from which to explore Palermo. The flat itself was surprisingly quiet considering all the noise in the streets below- we felt we had the best of both worlds. We were a bit overwhelmed by the heat since the only AC is in the upstairs bedroom- a problem when our oldest and youngest group members needed to rest during the hottest part of the day. We didn't cook much since we were too busy enjoying Palermo's street food and restaurants, but is was great to have the kitchenette for morning coffee. The elevator is also a major plus!
