You can access the apartment direct from airport Palermo with prestige el commander shuttle for 6€ per person. The apartment is an close alley near the one od main streets via Roma (bus station for shuttle bus), where you have shops, restaurants and 15 min walk away main attractions. As described you can acces them all by foot . No transport costs. The apartment it self is very cozy home like place. The best feature of the apartment for me was balcony with a table and two chairs. i enjoyed my breakfasts and dinners there in a nice ambient. The neighborhood is safe. Nobody tried to pickpocket me. After day of being alert i felt safe. I recommend this apartment
