We stayed at Mary's Flat in Palermo in March. It is as described and was comfortable and clean. A good location. The local "Panificio" and trattoria are all OK. Come out the flat turn left and follow the lane all the way up (Via Alloro) and there is a nice cocktail bar. The Bar Rosso in the Porta Reale is good also for breakfast and lunch. Follow Mary's recomendations and you will have a good time. We would return. Enjoy your stay there.
