Spacious apartment with terrace in the heart of Palermo's historical old town

The apartment was beautiful and close to everything we wanted to see. It was a wonderful retreat after spending the day and evening out. It was a short walk to the train station allowing us to get to Cefalu for a day trip.Our host Yvonne was amazing as well. She created a book for the house full of information and suggestions. She was very helpful with our questions ahead of our arrival and during our stay.

Location near all we wanted to see, although you get neighborhood sounds and activity. (We love that atmosphere.) Yvonne gave great recommendations.

This duplex flat is a delight, beautifully fitted out and thoughtfully provided with the basic provisions. Very easy access to the daily market and many of the historic buildings are within 15 minutes walk. A lovely view of the church from the terrace.The perfect base for a weeks exploration of the city centre.,

Property was as advertised. Hostess was a10. Helpful and extremely nice. Old town is looking a little run down but felt safe walking around. Apartment is right next to the market great place to see all the Sicilian food. Very nice apartment.

This is a spacious and well equiped/furnished apartment in a very genuine, central Palermo neighbourhood. We enjoyed being somewhere where we felt we could experience local life, rather than simply being in a tourist area. It's not been gentrified and is a largely residential district. Only 50 yards away is the buzzing, messy Ballaro market - one of the sights of Palermo - but the apartment itself is very peaceful and the terrace a welcome retreat from Palermo's streets. We found the apartment very well located for seeing all the main sights in Palermo: a short walk from the Palazzo dei Normanni and Cathedral, the Quattro Canti at the heart of the city, and the sights of the Kalsa, Capo and Vucciria districts. The proximity to the central station (which we used for the airport and Cefalu) and Piazza Indipendenza (for the bus to Monreale - highly recommended) is also very convenient. Internally the apartment is very generous, with a downstairs living room and an upstairs kitchen/diner opening onto the terrace. Even in an unseasonably hot period for late September it stayed cool in the living areas and the airconditioning effectively kept the bedrooms at a good temperature. Our Host, Yvonne was very welcoming - we enjoyed meeting her on arrival and she was very accommodatng with our check-in arrangements, helpful in correspondence and provided useful information/recommendations (for eating we enjoyed Bisso Bistro and the basic/genuine local Tratorria il Bersagliere)

A spacious apartment in a lively neighbourhood. It can be a bit noisy at times due to the proximity to the Ballaro market but it is convenient to all the sites in the historic centre. Yvonne was a wonderful host. She had multiple suggestions of things to see and do including a fantastic restaurant recommendation that turned out to be one of the best meals we have every had. Highly Recommend.

This apartment was delightful. Its layout is such that four people could easily stay there and not get in each others way. It is located pretty much in the middle of the Ballarò market. The market shuts down in the early evening so street noise is not a problem. Yvonne was waiting for us upon our arrival, and was most informative and gracious during our stay. This was our fourth trip to Palermo and we really felt that we were staying in the authentic Palermo. Our concerns about safety in the neighborhood proved to be totally unfounded as we felt very safe the whole time.

Yvonne was an amazing host. The neighbourhood is a little edgy, but very authentic. We loved going to the market which was just steps away and buying fresh fruit, veggies and bread for breakfast and lunch. We had our bread guy and cheese guy. It made our trip to Palermo.

I highly recommend this apartment/flat. Yvonne is a wonderful host. She is very thoughtful and was a huge help during our stay. We ended up arriving 12 hours late; shortly after midnight; and Yvonne was kind enough to arrange transportation and meet us for check-in. The accommodations exceeded our expectations and the location was perfect for reaching most everything by foot. The flat was very clean and well kept. The patio/deck was awesome! Yvonne also gave excellent suggestions for places to eat and see. We would visit again without hesitation. Thanks Yvonne, ~ Randy
