I took the airport coach (10 euros return journey) into Palermo. As you approach the city outskirts the conductor calls out the coach stops so when he announced Via Roma (the last stop before the Palermo Centrale railway station, I got off. Alberto's apartment is about 3 minutes walk from the Via Roma / Victor Emmanuelle junction and is perfectly located in the old quarter for bars and restaurants. The room is spacious with a fine double bed, a writing desk for a laptop, a wardrobe, a fridge and wi-fi. On arriving I was offered cold beer - a really nice touch as I was tired from travelling. Alberto is a fine communicator and sent me information on Where to Eat and Nightlife. His apartment friend Sebastiano was also of great assistance. Each morning breakfast items ( a range of teas and coffee and croissants) are laid out on the breakfast table beside the kitchen - towels are provided and a number of walks are suggested. I was visiting Palermo for the first time so it was a whistle-stop tour lasting Sunday to Wednesday morning. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this centrally located apartment with a spacious bed and bedroom. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning soon. Kind regards, Steve Rawson, Dublin, Ireland
