I cannot say enough positive things about Lucia's apartment. The photographs and descriptions are very accurate. I enjoyed the location because it was within reasonable walking distance from museums, historical sites, libraries/archives, transportation, restaurants/supermarkets, and shopping...but it was also on a quieter street, in a safe building. The apartment is very stylish and well-appointed with amenities. The kitchen and bathroom were great, the beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of drawer and closet space. I liked relaxing and working in the living room in the evenings, right next to the balcony door. I shared the space with a friend for 2-3 days, then stayed by myself for research. I was comfortable alone (and had extra space to myself!), but would also be able to share the space comfortably with 2-3 others. Lucia and Carmelo were so kind. They were generous with time, hospitality, and recommendations, which made this lovely apartment feel even more special. I look forward to returning to Palermo, and to stay here again!
