There may be no better location in Palermo to stay. Yes, it is on the fifth floor and there are 76 steps, but one is rewarded with a beautiful view of Palermo at the top, and you are immersed in Al Capo market when you step out the front door. The apartment has great WiFi, great hot water, comfortable furnishings, high-quality bed and bath linens, and a serviceable kitchen. So much character! We would love to stay here again when we return to Palermo. We walked everywhere within the city, and could walk to the train station in about 30 minutes to catch a train or bus to other places. At night, walk just a couple of blocks to join tens of thousands of people strolling the main drag. Overall, this is an amazing apartment to stay in and explore Palermo.
