Alessandra's apartment is right near the port in Palermo. We had a car and were able to park ~100m away on the street for free. The apartment is really nice and has shutters on the windows so it's pitch black at night time. The only thing was as the apartment is so close to the water the air was quite sulphur-y, however there is not much you can do about it - just worth noting! Wifi was great and beds were comfortable. Really great water pressure in the shower :)
