The apartment was everything we expected and more. It was very well equipped, comfortable, secure, and nicely appointed, and Its central position meant that we didn't need a car (not recommended in Palermo's crazy traffic) and could walk to most places in 10 minutes. We loved the roof terrace. We didn't need to contact Antonio while there as everything worked perfectly, but he replied promptly and helpfully to emails before our arrival. He kindly arranged for a taxi driver to meet us at the airport and his housekeeper greeted us on arrival. We enjoyed the restaurants Antonio recommended, especially Il Ferro di Cavallo, which was cheap as chips and such fun - just 5 minutes/ walk. We also used the hop on hop off city Sightseeing bus which was good value as tickets are valid 24 hours, and took us up to Monreale. We would recommend a visit to the (rather gruesome) Catacombs - we walked there but the sightseeing bus could have taken us there. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Antonio's apartment to anyone thinking of visiting Palermo. Thank you so much, Antonio.
