Marjolein was a great hostess. Once we arrived she gave us a map where she had circled every interesting bit of Palermo and she explained it all to us perfectly. She gave us hints on where to go for cheap drinks and good food and was very helpful. Wish we could have stayed more, Palermo is such a vibrant city! The apartment is in a perfect location, near the main road (via Roma) and close to restaurants, the port and all the different sights. Definitely recommend it (but be prepared to go up a few flights of stairs!)
