Finding Maria’s place was easy and just a 10 minute walk from the central rail station (Palermo Central). Check-in was easy and Maria’s son was there to give us an orientation to the apartment and to offer insights on visiting Palermo.
We like to do our own cooking more than dine out. The apartment location is three blocks away from the Ballaro street market which is a great place to shop for local Sicilian produce. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals. There is also a Lidl grocery store 5 minutes away.
The apartment bed is comfortable and firm. The bedroom includes a fan should it get too warm. There was a dresser and a couple of closets, so there was plenty of storage for your goods/clothing. Most of our time was spent in the living room which is comfortable with two small couches and a table. The terrace is cozy, but usable for two people having an afternoon espresso.
Overall, we really liked our stay at Maria’s and would happily return.
