This beautifully appointed apartment is in an ideal location, and is extremely comfortable and well-maintained. You are literally steps from a UNESCO World Heritage destination, the Cathedral of Palermo, and an easy walk to dozens and dozens of stunning churches, lively outdoor markets, museums, parks and the waterfront. The apartment itself has everything you need to live like a local: a fully equipped kitchen (we cooked dinner 6 times a week during our month-long stay), two newly reconfigured bathrooms with showers that are plenty large, two living/sitting rooms with comfortable couches, nice beds in the 3 bedrooms, and plenty of storage space for a longer stay like ours. The artwork and decor in the apartment is very tasteful, and truly representative of Palermo and Sicily. There is plenty of light in the apartment--every room has at least one window either facing the exterior or a very pretty inner courtyard. Although you are in the middle of a world-class city, the apartment itself is quiet. Virginia is immediately available if you need advice or a recommendation--she lives in another apartment in the palazzo, and uses WhatsApp as well as text and telephone. She was very helpful in giving me a recommendation for a nice fitness club within about a 25 minute walk (or 6 minute #309 bus ride--don't be shy about taking the AMAT buses) that had a pool (Sprint on Via Calatafimi). The welcome and information notebook she provides is extensive as well. She went out of her way to arrange an taxi for us from the airport at a very reasonable price. In short, a fabulous stay. Grazie mille Virginia!
