Giada and Vincenzo's apartment was the *perfect* place to stay in Palermo. My friend and I stayed there for 2 nights on the tail-end of a long trip, and love dhow easy, beautiful and convenient their apartment was.
The location: very central and easy to get to a few of the main squares/piazzas by foot. Within minutes of walking you can find tons of shopping, restaurants, bars and pubs. If you're coming from the Palermo Airport the bus is definitely the easiest way to get there as the stop (on the way there and back from the airport) is 3-5 minutes walking. Round trip for this option is €10.
The apartment: was beautifully decorated, clean and spacious - every detail thought-out. Tons of space and light, a very nice bathroom (with the option to do laundry!), the cutest little kitchen and a patio off of the bedroom full of plants. We were there in the summer so the AC was wonderful to have. I will also say the mattress was *very* comfortable and nice, and unlike other Airbnbs I've stayed at in Sicily!
The service: Giada and Vincenzo went above and beyond. They made it easy for us to coordinate arriving to the flat. They had some local wine and treats as well as fully stocked coffee/tea options - how cute!
Whenever we had questions or needed anything - they answered instantly. (We had one small problem with the hot water heater that they worked with us to resolve very quickly!) They also were kind enough to give us some recommendations of fun local events happening while we were there.
We will definitely be back to Palermo to stay with them again! Thanks Giada and Vincenzo. :)
