We had a wonderful week in Palermo staying at Giuseppe's apartment.
We couldn't believe how modern, fresh, clean, quiet and roomy the apartment was and the cream on top was the rooftop balcony where each night we had drinks watching the ferrys arriving and leaving port and the starry skies.
The apartment is just so handy to everything, with the fresh food market around the corner, all the main sites within 10 minutes walk and the train and bus station just 15 minutes walk.
Giuseppe left us food to get us started, lots of toiletries, the biggest and fluffiest towels; there was nothing more we could have wanted.
The local business owners in the area surrounding the apartment, from the stall holders in the market to the cocktail bar and cafe owners got to know us, they are all so friendly. They all shouted farewells to us as we were wheeling our trolley bags through the streets on the way to the station; it was sad to leave.
If you're staying in Palermo, stay at Giuseppe's on Piazza 7 Fate.
