Our stay in this apartment was fantastic! Marco's apartment is a great place to stay whilst in Palermo.
Our check in was smooth, with Marco speaking little English, this did not stop check in being welcoming. In the apartment there is information on buses (going to mondello, monreale etc.) and a Lonely Planet Sicily book and safety instructions for the apartment available to read. Marco was so helpful and made us feel at home. He replied within 10 minutes and was available to help whenever he could.
The apartments location is a 2 minute walk from the Cathedral and 5 from the Norman Palace. Plenty of shops nearby for Arancini, Cannoli and Granita; as well as souvenirs, tours and everything you could need on a holiday. Bus stop was on Piazza Indipendenza, outside the Norman Palace and the train station was a 15 minute walk.
The area was friendly, quiet, despite being 2 minutes from the centre. There was one night where a nightclub was loud but that was only till around 11 or 12.
The apartment had everything you would need to eat although cooking may be limited (hob only). Coffee, tea and essentials were provided. As well as utensils for cooking on the hob.
Everything was highly clean with hygiene being on the forefront of this apartment's benefits.
The bed was comfortable and spacious.
The apartment was secure with an outer door, used only by another in the apartment owned by Marco below, and the door to the apartment. Felt very safe. Natural light flooded the apartment if you wanted.
Breakfast and water was also provided.
There was nothing to fault Marco's apartment, would recommend Marco as a host and his apartment to anyone and would definitely stay again.
Grazie Mille Marco!
