Palermo is a very challenging place to choose a good spot. There are a wide variety of places that may prove to be better than others, but if you want to have a good experience of Palermo i highly recommend staying at this wonderful place. It is in the heart of the old town and proves to be a genuine experience of what Palermo is really like opposed to an artificial one. I chose to drive in Sicily which is an experience in itself, but found no issues getting into the highly congested city center. Everything you see on the airbnb site is factual. the only minor issue we had with this apartment is the terrace. The terrace is beautiful and a great selling point to booking this place. The minor issue is that you must go through the owners private residence to have access to the terrace. As a traveler who wants his own private space, it is a bit awkward to have to open the door to someones private house while they may be sleeping or trying to concentrate. The owner does make you feel comfortable about the situation though, so no big worries. The location is great and its in the middle of everything. I would recommend bringing your own towels as the ones provided are quite cheap and seemingly old. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay here again for a visit to Palermo. I hope you will enjoy the place as much as i did
