A fairytale location - right across the street from the Palermo Cathedral. Gorgeous views at night when the crowds disperse, and due to the street closure, a calming beautiful start to the day.
Fabio was an excellent host - welcoming, responsive and kind. We appreciated his personal welcome and his help in arranging transport at the end of our stay (very honest and kind driver).
The apartment was clean and comfortable, with every amenity.
Walking distance to every major tourist attraction - Palatine Chapel, Fontana Pretoria, Mercato del Capo...
Tips: Walk north of cathedral (behind it) and you'll find the local antique market street. Antique stores that look like shacks and buildings built around the growth of gigantic old trees - their trunks sporting from the roof. The street food in Mercato del Capo. The local deli at Via Cappuccinelle (nice guy who let us taste the meat and cheese before we bought some). Cafe on the corner of Via Papireto & Via Cappuccinelle - espresso and dolce for 2 euro (Arte Cafe Damian). More locals than tourists, here.
And do try the typical Palermo Street Food at "Nino u Ballerino" - it's just a short walk beyond the city gate (Porta Nuova). Take a seat, eat the Palermo malzi (btw it was 100% delicious) and watch the families and locals come to eat. It's real street food and reasonably priced.
Thank you Fabio for sharing your apartment - it was really magical! Would definitely stay again!
