Vanda responded very promptly to questions before we left and arranged for an English speaking taxi driver to meet us and take us to the appt. Vanda and her husband met us at the appt to help us up the stairs (a healthy climb!) and to show us the appt and to make suggestions of places to eat etc. The appt was clean and very comfortable and perfectly located for exploring Palermo. It was lovely to be in the old town and to feel in the heart of local family life-especially for Easter celebrations. Vanda recommended good restaurants but sadly they were fully booked for Easter-we will just have to return to try again! The shower in the appt is great and the roof terrace a lovely bonus. We really enjoyed our stay in Palermo and would recommend Vanda's appt as a perfect place to stay.
