Greeted at the bus-stop having arrived from the airport, Concetta was friendly and helpful from the start! And the place.... it's amazing!

The photos shown don't do this penthouse apartment justice...It's INCREDIBLE! The kitchen is brilliantly stocked with everything you need which is ideal if keen cooks like us.

Eating breakfast and dinner on the lower terrace listening to the hustle and bustle on the vibrant street below was a dream. If you fancy eating something typical without leaving the house far, head for the streetside grill serving lamb intestine (!) sandwiches with lemon juice, it's much better than you might think!

Other pro's: Bed was comfy, air-con in every room, upper terrace bursting with lovely plants, near to transport links, great communication and help from the host Concetta. Only thing that could be improved would be a bit more water pressure on the shower and toilet flush, so basically this is a perfect place for a stay in the REAL hub of Palermo.

Note: this is a vibrant area full of locals rather than tourists, great for those like us looking to experience the REAL side to the city rather than the swankier tourist areas. Hearing the nightlife below is part of the amazing experience!
