The flat is much bigger than expected and it has a balcony which is not shown on the photos. There is also a lift. The flat is about a 20 minute walk or a bus ride to the more upmarket/main part of town where the Opera House is located. It is also is very close Palermo Lolli station which has direct trains to the airport. There are at least 2 trains per hour and the timetable is on the Trenitalia website. You can also catch a train from here to the Norman Palace and to Palermo Centrale. We took a trip from Centrale to Cefalu which is a lovely seaside resort about an hour away. The flat was very clean and bright. If I could improve anything, I would suggest adding a good corkscrew, a bread knife and some wine glasses. The TV is not a cable TV but it is not advertised as such. All in all, it is good value, basic and spacious accommodation.
