Really enjoyed staying at Daniele's place, Ballaro market is a proper slice of Palermo life and has great energy, colour and noise, but the apartment is only a short walk to Quattro Canti which is the heart of the more touristic storico centro. The apartment had everything that you might need including a great shower... there are plenty of tips from Danielle's blackboard on things to do and see, and places to go and eat (all prices). Top tip - the best canoli I had in Palermo is just under the apartment balcony. I watched 2 guys make the ricotta and a third guy make the canoli... couldn't have been fresher or tastier! It's fairly quiet between 18.00 and 09.00 or as quiet as centrale Palermo gets!, noise was not a problem (neither was smell!). Danielle was an enthusiastic and responsive host and gave us a late checkout which was great. Highly recommended and great value for money... scores eleven out of ten from me!
