The apartment is in a beautiful old building in a very convenient location in the middle of Palermo's nightlife. The apartment is clean and nice, but a bit impractical. There is only air conditioning in the bedroom, so the living room is really hot. Considering the extra payments required for more than two persons and the impractical and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements for extra persons, I don't recommend this place for families or groups over two.
Alessandro is a welcoming and nice host, who gave us the apartment early even though we only asked if we could leave our luggage. His advice for the city was not very useful, though. We asked about getting to Monreale, but was only advised to take the expensive tourist bus. The other options we learned about to late. His recommended restaurants were either closed, or complete tourist traps.
