We stayed in the top floor room of this lovely old building, which had been wonderfully restored with plenty of space and light. It had a very modern feel which set it apart from the other (more expensive) flat we stayed at in Palermo. We were received very well on arrival but otherwise left alone to enjoy the space of what in the end felt like a self contained flat. The area is fantastically positioned for the old town and central station but retains a local neighbourhood feel. Our one gripe however came from the noise of the nearby parties on a Saturday night as the whole block seems to be out celebrating (as the Italians do) I have a feeling very few places in central Palermo could escape this totally but if you are a light sleeper you may want to avoid the mid summer Saturday nights. Either that or don't come home until after 1am! Despite this it's really quite a special place and was fantastic value for money. Highly recommended!
