This is a flat with personality in a “palazzo” or tenement in the market quarter, in funky Palermo but a hundred yards from the main pedestrianised avenue, so it’s good for the main central sites, bars, eating places. Don’t come by car. The flat is spacious and well kitted out for self-catering: not only are there small shops and the market, but also a big Carrefour nearby. The roof terrace, up a couple of winding staircases, has great views. Sven is very friendly, helpful and straightforward. We stayed on Saturday night when a metal band played very loud very near, but only until 11.45. This place is good value: spacious, well equipped and good for the urban experience.
