This was the perfect apartment to stay in for our first visit to Palermo. Chiara definitely is a “Super Host.” She was very easy to communicate with, and thought of everything to make our stay very comfortable….well stocked kitchen, bottled water in the refrigerator (plus a welcome bottle of wine), list of suggested restaurants (which were great suggestions). The apartment itself has the normal noise during the day….dogs, voices, a few cars, etc. But at night, it was absolutely silent. It was hard to believe that we were sleeping so close to the historical center. Chiara also had great suggestions for restaurants nearby, two of which we tried and loved (Quattro Mani and Pablo’s Restaurant). The apartment is very comfortable and felt like a haven after sightseeing the busy streets of Palermo all day…..and the TWO bathrooms were luxurious! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you stay here!
