Three reasons why this was a 5-star vacation:
1. The apartment is gorgeous, thrilling and totally functional for cooking, dining, lounging, sleeping and all. Too many details to list but highlights are the two phenomenal terraces, an excellent kitchen, and an incredibly cozy and beautiful living room. The views from the patios are truly off the charts.
2. The location is perfect. We were lucky to have a month in Palermo, and we explored all over city by foot. This was the perfect spot for learning Palermo. Right between Capo and Ballarò markets, just off the all-pedestrian Emmanuale strip, tons of restaurants, cafes, museums, galleries, shops. The vintage shops too were fantastic. Really a perfect location.
3. Michele! The most wonderful host and now friend we could ever meet. Seriously, Michele is a rock star. He set us up beautifully in the apartment, and every recommendation for food and touring and excursions was perfect. He also introduced us to so many fantastic folks. Awesome!
