This apartment is located in the old town about 20 mins walk from the main tourist area of Palermo city centre. It takes about 40 mins from the airport and Antonio can arrange a taxi with Vincenzo for €40 one way. It’s ground floor apartment with a rear and front terrace. There is ample kitchen equipment should you wish to cook your meals although there are many restaurant within a 5-10 minute walk. The two bedrooms and living room have very efficient air con so you stay cool even though in the heat. The en-suite in the double bedroom is a tad small so we just used the main bathroom which was no issue. Our check in was with Mrs Messina who lives within the building but she speaks basically no English so ensure you ask the host all questions directly unless you speak Italian. The pictures accurately reflect the space which is perfect for a short stay in Palermo.
My only issue was that there was an issue with flies somehow getting into the kitchen despite no windows or doors being left open. It wasn’t an infestation and we simply asked Antonio is some fly spray could be brought round to combat the issue. Antonio then sent me a message saying, “my apartment is not a hotel and I’m not your maid”. Basically he had our money and didn’t care. We ended up going to Carrefour ourselves to buy fly spray which solved the issue but I was offended with the host’s bad attitude and would therefore not recommend him to others.
