We had a marvellous week in Concetta's beautiful apartment. It's spacious, comfortable, impeccably clean and has a lovely feel to it. As it's the penthouse you have not just a large balcony but a roof garden too - both full of plants and great places to sunbathe or have a meal.
Concetta herself is very hospitable and goes out of her way to help and advise you and make you feel welcome.
We loved the area. It is lively and gives you a real feel for what authentic Palermo is like. There is everything you need nearby - supermarket, restaurants, cafes, and plenty of street vendors if you want to try the famous Palermitano street food. We ate at Trattoria da Piccolo Napoli (great seafood and wine, lovely terrace, helpful staff) and Trattoria da Pino (a very genuine, local, home cooking trattoria - comforting food, excellent value, great atmosphere), as well as getting a pizza from the place just opposite the house. Great area for food!
Could not recommend this place, or Palermo, more.
