Location:
This apartment is located on via della liberta, in a lovely affluent neighbourhood, (this road leads straight into the city centre, past a lovely park & some very high end boutique fashion shops).
It is about 20-25 mins walk to the the city centre. The bus 101 stops right outside the flat & this will take you to the city centre in less than 10 mins, (most of the city centre is pedestrianised so you cannot get much closer by bus).
You can also use the bus stop outside the apartment to take the 806 bus which goes to Mondello (very easy & takes about 15-20 mins by bus).
The airport bus also stops right outside the apartment which is very handy.
Apartment:
The flat itself is well organised & decorated with air conditioning in both the bedroom & living area, good wifi signal, smart tvs, breakfast bar, & a lovely small quite private terrace.
Restaurants/Bars:
Lots to choose from within a 5 min walk.
Il baro (pizza), treska (pizza pasta), Para bistro, lots of bakeries and ice cream shops - all much better quality & service than the restaurants & bars we found in the city centre.
Host:
Alda is what makes the trip so wonderful. She is truly a lovely lady who went out of her way to help us and give us handy tips and advice on what to do & where to go.
She answered all questions quickly & was always willing to go further to help us - she even bought us bus tickets when we couldn't find an open shop.
She was very very helpful and this trip would not have been as enjoyable without her.
She even left us a lovely welcome treat of Sicilian pastries & rose for our arrival and even dropped some flowers as a birthday gift.
She helped us book restaurants, spas and private boat trips and was there for any help at all.
I highly recommend the apartment and to book with Alda. Grazie mille Alda!
