The apartment
The apartment is spotlessly clean and comfortable and really has everything you need – and we stayed for three weeks. From an excellent washing machine to a coffee machine and from a brand new set of kitchen knives to a welcoming bottle of wine. The double bed is comfortable and there are roller blinds for black-out.
The Host
Melania is indeed a super super host. Nothing was too much trouble and, while she was always available should we have a question, she never imposed. Warm and friendly with lots of good advice and happy to organise a car and driver, or recommend the best ways to travel outside Palermo.
The area
The apartment is on the first floor, right above the street market and in the heart of the ancient Capo area and thus very convenient for sightseeing. There’s a convenient bus stop a 100 metres away. Yes, the market gets going early and yes, there is the inevitable market noise, but to us this was not a problem and made us feel part of the local community – and of course you can pop down for fresh fish, fruit and vegetables.
Overall:
A great base to explore Palermo with a fantastic host. Recommended 100%
