The apartment is generously sized and is great for families. It is also well-equipped and furnished. Having a kitchen with some basic ingredients (like herbs, oil, etc.) is a big help.
We had no problem walking to many great sights and attractions in the city. Although the city is loud, the balcony doors shut out the sound very well.
Francesca was very accommodating and helpful, so despite the language barrier, we managed very well.
The apartment makes for a very good temporary home in Palermo.
