Enjoyed a very authentic experience of busy & vibrant Palermo from Vanda's apartment incl market shopping in nearby streets. Vanda was very helpful in organising a driver to / from the airport and provided a map with guidance on what to see. Good location to walk to many tourist icons, access to buses to reach Monreale and Mondello beach and train to Cefalu (a highlight). You need to be fit to climb the 4 flights of stairs to the apartment & stairs to the bedrooms. The verandah has a stunning view & great for a sundowner. Thank you Vanda for being a good host, had a fabulous time!
