Franco's apartment is right in the city center, you can easily reach by foot every famous place in Palermo. The downside of this is that you are very near to a couple of pubs and karaoke places that keep the music on until 3 or 4 am.
The apartment itself is nice and cozy, with a small kitchen, a big sofa in the living room and a nice shower in the bathroom. Parkingi is free on the street, but you need to purchase a special pass to access the city center by car from monday to friday (2.5 euros per day).
