We just spent several nights in Vanda's apartment in Palermo. It is in the old section of Palermo and close to the Cathedral, the Main Street of Palermo and within walking distance of all tourist sights and the main shopping district. Her apartment is modern and very clean. She has a beautiful balcony with a fabulous view of the Cathedral and surrounding Palermo. Her apartment is on the fourth floor and there are two smaller staircases within the apartment - so if you cannot climb stairs this is not the apartment for you. I, however, loved it and would highly recommend it.
