The area felt safe, good car parking inside gates. Plenty of cafes and grocery stores as well as other shopping within walking distance.
Good communication into the center by bus, stops within a 5-10 minute walk. The caretaker, Antonio, was always happy and welcoming.
The challenges that existed were resolved quite quickly.
Palermo as a city offers a wide range of sights and cultural offerings. Many good restaurants in the area, eg the Pizzeria across the street was very good.
