We chose Casa Ro for the location - close to our conference - and also really enjoyed the neighborhood. This is a 3 room apartment (1 bedroom with a bed for 2, a living room with 2 single beds and a dining room, along with kitchen and bath). We were comfortable and safe there. Roberto went the extra mile to help us, waited for us at the apartment when our plane was late and the taxi tied up in traffic and also helped us with a taxi when we left. (As well as when I had trouble with the key to the building, it is a bit tricky, so ask him for help before he leaves!) The apartment was clean. As some other people have noted, the shower is a bit tricky. We didn't do too much sightseeing in Palermo since it was a working vacation but I think this area is really lovely. Thank you!
