This wonderful apartment is perfectly located in Palermo; walking distance to the central attractions but far enough away from the crowds to enjoy the city. The owner, Ruggero, went out of his way to help us get settled. After meeting us at the center of Palermo, Politeama Square, he drove us to the apartments and made us feel at home.
The apartment is nicely furnished and includes a kitchen, should you wish to cook (who would in Palermo), and a washing machine. It is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Typical of Italian homes, the bathroom, which is small, was very clean as is the rest of the apartment. Wi-Fi is included. I could live in this apartment!
There are several very good restaurants close by plus an excellent "bar" for morning coffee and pastries. You can easily walk to attractions such as Teatro Massimo, The Cathedral of Palermo, the Pretoria Fountain, and the Quattro Canti (four corners).
A cab ride away is the Cathedral of Monreale, which is famous for combining three styles of architecture, Byzantine, Islamic and Roman. The centerpiece of the cathedral is the mosaic of Christ, which is huge (the two fingers on his right hand are nearly two meters long). A must see while in Palermo.
The people living and working in the area of the apartment were extremely warm, friendly and helpful to non-Italian speaking visitors. I hope to go back and visit again and would certainly stay in this apartment the next time.
