This place is great value for a single person or a couple. Compact but oh so convenient! Within easy walking distance of so much. Surrounding area is run down like so much of the old town of Palermo but the apartment is smartly decorated, the bed comfortable and the bathroom fine. Kitchen has a cooktop but no oven. Wifi works well. The only real downside are the 63 steps from the bottom of the staircase to the apartment door. Could be a problem if one has limited mobility or a very heavy suitcase. The owner was extremely helpful, meeting us in the nearby piazza and offering to carry our bags up. Although it is only an 800 m walk to the station, and there is a bus stop nearby in via Roma , the owner offered to drive us to the station and helped us find the right platform.
This place is highly recommended.
