If you look out the window, you will she the central station, it is just an 1 minute walk. Around the corner are some shops open till very late, including two ice-cream shops (the best is the closest one, which is a mere 50 metres from the apartment). The apartment itself is simple but has the look and feel AND is the old Palermo style. There are two airco's and the bathroom is good. Communications with the host were fast and friendly. I can recommend this apartment. It is excellent value.
