We just came back from Palermo and we loved it!!!
The apartment is NEW and the building is also new and very well taking care: new painted, nice smell, enough lights and a security system for enter the building - there is also 2 lifts as the apartment is in the 5° floor.
When I was looking for a place to stay I saw some people complaining about noise in other apartments, but at Giacomo apartment we didn't had that problem at all.
By the way I have to mention that the sofa in the living room that turn into a double bed is very comfortable (best one I ever sleep in - feels just like as a normal bed).
My kids and I have been eating pizza in the balcon and enjoy watch the people walking around.
There is a very nice icecream shop just in front/corner and a pizzaria in the other corner - nice to mention 😊
The apartment is in a very strategic place: you are literally in the side of the train station (that was very convenient for us to take the train from the airport and that cost only 6 euros adult and 3 euro for a kid - way cheaper than other transfers).
There is a bus stop (101) in the other side of the central station that takes you unyil the bus stop (806) that takes you to Mondello beach (for just 1.40 euro).
Just in front of the apartment is also a metro (number 1) that takes you yo the Shopping Mall (very convenient for some shopping or walk around in very warm days).
Short: the apartment is not only well equipped, taking care and safe, but also very well strategically located!!!
