We arrived at dark and it was a bit cumbersome to find the apartment, but Mauro left instructions with a friend who offered directions over the telephone and warmly welcomed us to the apartment.

The apartment is located a bit away from the prettier parts of the city, but is very cozy, tidy and has all the essentials that you need.

I personally didn't enjoy Palermo - perhaps the weather has something to do with it - but the food at family-run restaurants was really good.
