I fell in love with this apartment online - so much so that I changed my travel dates to be sure of staying there during the month I spent in Palermo. When I arrived, it was exactly what I imagined (although the sofa is more comfortable than it looks!). Simona and Alessandro were perfect hosts, always responding immediately to my questions. Knowing that I love food, they even gave me olive oil, semolina flour and lemons from their family's property!
I spent a lot of time indoors working, and found the apartment comfortable and homey. The reversible air conditioner does not do a great job of heating because of the high ceilings, but the hosts provided a space heater that worked well (and I don't think heating would be an issue for most of the year). There is tons of cupboard space and the kitchen has everything you might need for everyday cooking, with four gas burners and an oven.
Having visited many different areas in Palermo, I think you can't beat the location of this apartment in the charming and relatively quiet Kalsa district. It's within easy walking distance of everything, including the sea with is five minutes away. I would definitely stay here again!
