The apartment is in a fantastic location in the centre of old Palermo. We took a bus from the airport to the station. From there it’s a straightforward walk of about 10 minutes. A car is totally unnecessary.
Our check in was great, the man kindly carried our bags up the many stairs, got us set up on wifi and told us where the nearest supermarket was. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished and had everything needed for a long weekend. The roof terrace is very private and has great views, perfect for breakfast or an evening aperitif.
Lisa was very responsive at all times and gave us recommendations for typical Sicilian restaurants and a gelateria all of which were amazing.
Everything you may want to visit in Palermo is in easy walking distance from the apartment. We went to all the food markets, many beautiful churches, and gardens, leaving the museums and galleries for our next visit.
Via Maqueda which is lined with nice restaurants and bars and really comes alive in the evening is about 7 minutes away.
The piazza below the apartment has a bar on the other side which plays live music some nights, jazz when we were there, which added to the atmosphere on our terrace. The square does get lively at night but it is very central so not unexpected. We would definitely come back to this apartment it was a great base for visiting Palermo.
