Even though it is older, the apartment is very clean and the bathrooms are all updated. There are many stairs to mount. But there is an elevator. Also the one bedroom is located up stairs and the balcony is also higher up the stairs. If you have a fear of heights you’ll have to take your time. It is in the perfect location to explore Palermo. So safe. So friendly. So much fun. Great food, markets, churches, hop on/hop off bus… Don’t forget the nightlife. So much to explore from the perfect location .
