Alright, let me save you a little time. There’s no need to search any longer. This is the PERFECT place to stay in Palermo. I stayed for a month and LOVED it!
Now, if you want more details, here you go.
Firstly, the location is excellent! It’s right on the Mercato del Capo, one of the most exciting markets in Palermo. Right outside the building, you can find fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, meats and everything you need. Now, you may be thinking it’s loud, but it’s not. Yes, the market is quite lively at times, but the apartment is on the opposite side of the building, so none of your windows face the market and you hear no noise from the market activities. The apartment is also very close to other tourist spots, such as Quattro Canti (Four Corners) and Teatro Massimo.
Secondly, the apartment itself is absolutely the best. It is clean, bright and welcoming. It looks just like the photos, maybe even a little better. You have everything you need here. Caterina had cheese, olives and a few other snacks waiting for me when I arrived. Also, if you need to do any work on your laptop or want to stream some movies, you’ll find the internet reliable. The speeds are 17.88 Mbps down and 2.94 Mbps up.
The communication with Caterina was excellent. She explained how to get from the airport to our meeting point and then walked with me to the apartment. She provided valuable information and printed out my boarding pass when I was leaving Palermo. She also helped me find a gym nearby.
In summary, I could not have asked for a better place to stay in Palermo or a better host. Caterina’s kindness coupled with her lovely apartment made my stay in Palermo magical.
