This studio is all about the balcony! We whiled away hours drinking coffee and wine whilst people watching and observing all the comings and goings in the square outside the cathedral. You cannot fault the location. The apartment is grand and clearly very old, which means it is quite quirky. There are very limited kitchen facilities so if you are trying to self cater it would be a real stretch. There are two gas rings and a microwave and kettle, but very little space and a note advising that to use two appliances at once could blow the fuses. Similarly the bathroom is beautiful- it looks like it's been recently refitted and was spotlessly clean, but hot water ran out within minutes. All part and parcel of staying in a truly historic building, but honestly not always comfortable! The double bed is very small, narrower than a regular double in the uk so make sure you love the person you're sharing with! Like Palermo this apartment is individual, distinctive, charming but also challenging in some ways, but we don't regret staying here one bit. We had a fascinating stay.
