Most everything I have to say is in the reviews already written (clean, cozy space with easy access to everything, etc.) However, what we did differently was spend our entire summer holiday in Emanuele's flat. For six weeks we explored all over Palermo, eventually branching out to see several other places in Sicily as well - all without even renting a car. There are so many hidden gems to find that we had a fantastic time, always knowing at the end of the day that we would return to our "home away from home", relax and get a good night's sleep in the peace and quiet of Emanuele's flat (which does not describe all areas of Palermo...).

We were busy exploring on our own and did not ask Emanuele about things around town but I am sure he would have tried to help in any way he could. Emanuele always responded quickly to any message and helped us resolve any issues we had. In short, we had a fantastic vacation and much of it was due to the comfort and location of this flat. If we did not want to see some other places in the world, I would be renting it again next summer.
This is a great choice if you plan to visit Palermo for any length of time.
