Federica's place is located in the very heart of Palermo's pedestrian district –free of cars. She had a smile, food and a bottle of white waiting for us. The rooms were spacious and the apartment well equipped. Please note that there's no common space to sit (like a living room) and you have to walk up a few flight of stairs but this was not a problem for us. Our common sitting area was the kitchen and its fun balcony over-looking the roof tops and a lovely church. She was both friendly and available to help us with questions about Palermo.
