Francesco was very easy to communicate with and met us at the apartment after a late arrival from the airport. The apartment was large with handy amenities (kettle, coat hangers, shower gel etc). A 10-25 minute walk from all the sights of Palermo, a 5 minute walk to a 24/7 supermarket, and less than 10 minutes to the bus stop for Mondello beach. We felt safe in the neighbourhood, and there were lots of restaurants nearby, so a good location. A little noisy on the street corner but as expected for a city - ear plugs sorted that. A shame the balcony only caught the sun in the late afternoon. But all in all a good place to stay :)
