This apartment is extremely well located for exploring Palermo . It is very clean and spacious , excellent for two couples to share . Two bathrooms ! Very well equipped , clean and all the lovely art /sculptures etc keep you smiling during your stay . Great outdoor space , lovely long balcony to the front to watch the mad mad world of driving in the city . There is a lovely view of the palace too. To the rear , a terrace from the kitchen spacious enough for four people. Lovely to sit in the evenings . Enjoying the evening sun. The bus to Monreale is a few minutes walk away , definitely worth a trip , but please be very aware of pick pockets on the crowded buses. To the right of the appt .as you walk out and up some steps a great bar/cake/bread shop . Other Coffee and snack bar 2 mins away just as you walk to the Arch Porto Nuevo. Thank you to Luca who welcomed us on arrival and was so responsive answering any queries we had . We were grateful to Luca for arranging the taxis to and from the airport , well worth it . Thank you to Mariapia and Francesca for sharing their home with us . We thoroughly recommend this apartment and would love to return .
