Fiorella is a very friendly and attentive host who gave us many great tips for the city and is very communicative. The apartment is beautiful and very tastefully decorated. In winter there are electic heaters and extra fleece blankets if you need ... as Sicily can be surprisingly chilly at that time of the year. The beautiful stone floors are certainly wonderful in summer, in january they can be a bit cold (so bring thick socks or slippers). The location of the apartment is great, absolutely central and yet there is no traffic noise because there are no cars. However, the street is very busy with many merchants and pedestrians - this results in a certain background noise, but it gives you as well the feeling of being in the middle of the wonderful lively Palermo.
