The partner is centrally located near the opera house and Capo market. Easy walk to all sights of old town Palermo. Beautiful view from the balcony although that was the only real highlight inside the space. The apartment is up 4 flights of steep stairs. Hot water comes and goes. Massimiliano was very kind and did help us to get upstairs with our bags. He offered recommendations although it was hard to remember everything he described. Palermo itself is an interesting city with a lot of trash and the beach is not near by or in walking distance from this apartment so do not stay in this area if you’re hoping for a beach visit to Palermo. Better locations closer to the water outside of town could be found. I would recommend staying by the water out of town and traveling in to downtown to see the sights instead of staying in downtown as it is quite busy and dirty. Okay stay, but slightly disappointed coming from the USA.
