Excellent place for introduction to Palermo

The apartment is close to everything, train, bus, markets and grocery store, many many cafes and restaurants, tours and many historic sites. The beach is a reasonable bus ride away. Our hosts met us on arrival and set us up nicely with information and suggestions. We did not mind the stairs or the sounds of the city in the evenings or mornings. It was a great introduction to Sicily and the city of Palermo

Great Host

What a great place with a super host. There is a restaurant below that has a nice breakfast and there are some small markets nearby, The streets are really intense, but if you get there at the right time of day, there is parking in the back which is HUGELY helpful. I thought i would be using Palermo as a hub and then driving to nearby areas, however due to the lack of parking available in Palermo, I ended up leaving my car in the space Marco helped me get behind the building and then taking cabs outside of the city.

The host was very nice, however, while the apartment itself was lovely, the building and the courtyard were under extreme renovations. Quite frankly it was very dangerous with scaffolding and cement all over and it was very noise and loud. In addition, there was a restaurant/night club at the ground level which was very disturbing for sleep. I think the host should have made us aware that the apartment was undergoing construction.

Better than advertised!!!

The apartment is in the middle of everything. The building has historic charm and the apartment has all modern amenities. When we were en route, we were informed there was an issue with the washing machine. The hosts jumped through hoops to get a new machine for us the next day which could not have been easy. I have all the confidence Marco and Clementina will achieve all the goals as hosts, providing great experiences for many people and for many years.

A beautiful apartment in a perfect location for exploring Palermo

The apartment is in an older, unrenovated building but the apartment itself is very modern, clean and spacious. it is well appointed with three nice balconies. Fabio was a great host. He helped us arrange airport transportation and met us at the apartment with tips on restaurants and local sites. We had no problems at any time, from booking to check out, it was all easy and stress free. We especially liked the kitchen, shown in the photo, which was modern and well-equipped and you can sit at the table and watch the courtyard and birds. The location was perfect for exploring Palermo, right down the street from Quattro Canti and in walking distance to the outdoor markets, good restaurants and all the main sights of Palermo. It gives you a very genuine experience of Palermo's diversity and culture.

Very Nice Apartment but a bit noisy

Overall, this apartment is quite spacious and well appointed. The host was very informative and provided us with a list of restaurants and other merchants in the area.Location was good as well, except that the apartment backs up to a parking area and what looked to be a church(?) of some kind. As a result, it was very noisy every morning beginning at around 6:30 am. We were aware from other reviews that due to it's location in the city, it could be a bit loud. We assumed that meant in the evening/at night, when we would be away from the apartment. However, that was not the case. If you are an early riser, the morning noise won't be an issue for you - we are not early risers ;-)As the building itself is older and has large windows, it is not well insulated from the noise.

This is a very large space, very well located close to a major pedestrian area and the Piazza Bellini, but just far enough away to be significantly quieter at night. We never felt unsafe, although the streets between the apartment and the train station might be considered a little dodgy at night. It's just a 10 minute walk from the train station, so access to airport and side trips to places such as Cefalù is convenient. Access is through an interior courtyard shared with a small restaurant; the courtyard is therefore open to the public when the restaurant is operating (there are interior locked gates and security cameras). Apartment is two flights up from ground level and marble stairs are worn and in need of repair; installation of an elevator is in progress but doesn't look to be available in the near future as no work was done during our 5 day stay.The apartment is large with very high ceilings; furnishings are very basic but adequate. Air conditioning is available in all rooms. The kitchen is functional but could use a few more cooking utensils. Beds are firm but comfortable. Communication with hosts (who lived here formerly) was excellent, and they checked us in personally.We'd be happy to stay here again.

Une chose importante. Le quartier est vibrant et sonore. Les bouchons d'oreilles sont utiles pour bien dormir. Mais c'est l'inconvénient pour en contrepartie être au coeur du vieux Palermo et voir l'exubérance de cette ville pleine de chaos et de poésie. Marco et Clementina sont super sympas.........

Spacious and right in the center

Marco was waiting for us when we arrived. He had bought cannolies for us - what a nice welcome. He also helped us with arranging a taxi pickup for the airport. The apartment is spacious and clean. It had the amenities and necessities, including coffee, water, shampoo, hair dryer, etc. Note that there is no lift and there are stairs to climb. With luggage it can be difficult. It is also very noisy at night, which is to be expected when staying in the center. The location was great We walked everywhere - Quattro Canti, Teatro Massimo, Cathedral of Palermo, etc.

Best location in Palermo

Our property manager Marco couldn't have been nicer. On arrival our flight was a little late but he met us outside as we pulled up and was right on time for checkout. Two full baths was a really nice perk. I am a clean freak and found everything spotless. The location is the best part - only steps from Quattro Canti and a short walk to restaurants and Teatro Massimo. My only caution would be if you have trouble climbing stairs. Marco even left us a housewarming gift of fresh cannoli. Bellisimo! If you are taking a taxi on arrival or departure ask Marco for contact information for Carmelo, he has more reasonable rates than most and very good driver.

Could not be better

The apartment was even more spacious and comfortable than the photos make it appear, and Marco could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The location is terrific - just a few minutes' walk from the main train station and even closer to Quattro Canti, the centre of the centro storico. When we come back to Palermo, this will definitely be our first choice for accommodation.

We loved the apartment right in the middle of the old section of Town. everything was in walking distance including the "on OFF bus Tour Stop" . Hosts really were a huge help even arranged a pick up at the airport which was so important after 21 hours of traveling. If you want to experience Palermo this is where you want to stay.
