This apartment with its superb 360 degree terrace overlooking the city (I counted 96 paces from one end to the other!) is wonderful. The flat is spotlessly clean, light and airy, very well planned, ergonomic, comfortable, heated / aircon, everything we needed was there (even chromecast on the TV, so we could cast films from our smartphones to watch in bed!) .
We did not meet Luigi, but Mabbi, who speaks good English and French, arranged taxis for us and briefed us on local amenities and restaurants (including Igro in the nearby Capo market, and Sesto Canto, also close by in Piazza San Francisco di Paola - both of which we highly recommend).
The building itself is very secure, and coming in and out, we were often warmly welcomed by the concierge and her lovely dog, Bimbo, at the ground floor reception. Even though the traffic in the street is busy, up on the 8th floor terrace you hardly hear it, and inside the flat it's total calm..
Our last day there was a public holiday, Liberation Day (April 25th) , celebrated in glorious sunshine in the park below - the Villa Filippino - by a Palermo version of Camden Market, with a Beatles tribute band, barbecues, wines, cheeses, artisanal beer, dancing and singing . Wonderful!

This has to be one of the best - if not THE best Airbnb apartment in Palermo...
