I stayed with my father at Brigitte's place for a few nights and we could not have asked for a nicer accommodation! The apartment is beautiful and it's in a great part of the city's historic center, the pictures almost can't do it justice. Brigitte is very kind and super helpful, and her English is good. We spent most of our time traveling to other parts of Sicily, but Palermo is a fantastic vacation destination in its own right. I would highly recommend Brigitte's listing for anyone's stay in Palermo!
