Palermo is a great an vibrant city – once you manage to get there. We had some difficulties with the car rental service and then later with navigating to the apartment. But Salvatore’s parents and his brothers waited for us and helped as finding the right way to the apartment (Palermo’s one-way streets can be tricky for the navigation system). Salvatore’s family did everything to make our stay really splendid! His mother prepared food upon our arrival, and we got to taste several different typically Sicilian dishes, a different one every day (amongst others: Pane E Panelle Con Croquette di Patate; and of course the Cannoli filled with sweet ricotta, and something called „calf’s mouth“ – but we are not sure if it translated correctly).

The apartment is clean and offers everything you need for a short stay. Yet, we did not spend much time in the apartment (only for sleeping and siestas) – and spend more time on exploring the city and the surrounding of Palermo. As mentioned in other comments, it is perfectly located near the city center – so all the sights and nightlife within walking distance. There are great places to eat nearby, from restaurants to pannineria. On Weekends there is a great market which also offers more „street food“ (and of course vegetables etc.) – unfortunately, we could only rush trough before we had to leave for the airport.
