If you want to be in the thick of things. To really experience Palermo life, then this is for you. It is not for the faint-hearted, however. Despite being told parking was ok, we were a long way away and were warned not to leave things on show. This place works best for travellers who can arrive by taxi perhaps, although it is hard to get close so don't bring large cases. Apartment comfortable enough for a couple of nights. Balcony offers fascinating view of the market- really couldn't stop observing.
