Having called Riccardo before arriving he notified me that he would not be able to be at the place but that his father would. The gentleman was extremely helpful and even found us a parking space. He pointed us towards the little shops around and also the Carrefour supermarket.
The street was a bit bleak, but I was aware of that, the contrast with the place all the greater. It is not very spacious but has all the necessary amenities. The bed is in a mezzanine and comfortable. The kitchen is well provided and exits to a lovely the little garden. Everything was clean; bottled water in the fridge; coffee, sugar and salt for the taking.
From there it is easy to walk to the different sites of Palermo or take a bus. Leave your car where it is parked for parking is a nightmare and so is the traffic.
