Valentina's place was a beautiful oasis in Palermo. With a lovely terrace and mezzanine layout, tasteful decor and furniture. It was a 15 minute walk to the centre of town and there was a lovely coffee place just 2 mins down the road. Valentina recommended some great restaurants and hang outs. We took a lot of daytrips from the central station which was about a 20 minute walk. The only issues we really had was the height of the apartment- we banged our heads on the beams and bathroom quite a bit as they were low and the outside noise from the street was loud in the morning - but we accustomed after a few days so it was fine! Valentina also has a great surround sound system and lighting fixtures!
