My introduction to the apartment was a joint effort by Francesco and Giuseppe. Although I don't speak Italian Giuseppe helped with English with a full run down of the use of the accommodations --elevator, kitchen with stove and refrigerator stocked with breakfast items and water, bathroom with plenty of hot water, blow dryer, TV, comfortable bed. I was traveling by my self and felt very safe with the privacy and the lock system provided for me. very clean!
That's the nuts and bolts-- but the best was the amazing old world design of this room from 1600--
I felt like I had a personal experience in history of Palermo.
I was in contact with my hosts at all time through texting and phone. The apartment is only a few blocks from the main city shopping and historical center... Easy access to neighborhood street food and dinning. My only recommendation is
if you are a light sleeper, ear plugs might be helpful just due the busy street noise at certain times of the later evening.
