The stay at Martha's apartment was all around wonderful.
The spacious apartment is located inside an old Italian Palazzo at a 2 block walking distance to the Teatro Massimo and the Old Town.
Though situated at a large and very busy crossing, it is never loud, as the windows are very well insulated. The apartment itself is simply breathtaking. It is large and spacious (much to large for the two of us) and offers two full bed- and bathrooms as well as additional sleeping quarters on two couches. The ground floor is occupied by the large living and kitchen area, while the upstairs houses the rest of the rooms. The whole of the aparment is designed with an amazing eye for detail, it is modern and chic, although beautiful antique furniture is added here and there to compliment the modern touches.
The ground floor of the aparment has a small balcony with seating for two and a small table.
Discovering the centre of Palermo from Martha's apartment and relaxing there after a long day of sightseeing, good food and drink could not have been any better.
And if the aparment itself was not enough to convince you to stay here, it also offers fantastic hosts. Martha's parents expected us for the check-in, showed us around, gave us great hints for sightseeing, restaurants and bars that really made our time in Palermo memorable. Their hospitality really made this stay and when we had to leave, they even stored our luggage until we had to leave for the airport and arranged for a private driver to take us which was much cheaper than taking a taxi as well as quicker and more comfortable.
Should we come back to Palermo, this is the only place we want to stay at.
