The flat is in a good location, a short walk to the beach and main square, with its restaurants. The apartment is comfortable and we appreciated the coffee, tea and sugar. We were always able to find a space to park our car on the street outside. Francesco was very helpful and responsive, before and during our stay.
Mondello is in a good location to explore the west side of the island. The 806 bus takes you to Palermo in about 20 minutes, and is a bargain at €1.40 each way. It drops you in a square which is about 15-20 minutes by foot from the historic centre. But this walk is straightforward and interesting.
