As we had a late flight (arrived in Palermo after 21:00) we asked Antonio to arrange for a taxi to collect us from the airport. A very helpful, Mr Vincenzo was there to meet us and for 45 euros took the 5 of us directly to the apartment where despite the late hour on a Saturday Mrs Giovanna was there to show where everything was and how it worked.
The apartment is clean well furnished with good sized rooms, A/C & heating (didn't need that) and considering the abundance of restaurants an adequate kitchen with large fridge and freezer.
Antonio answered all our emails promptly and even arranged for Mrs Giovanna to come out on evening to show us how to operate the A/C and also organised the ever cheerful Mr Vincenzo to take us out on our last day, store our luggage and collect us in time for our return flight.
Do eat at Ferro di Cavallo but BOOK in advance as it gets very busy, go on to the roof top terrace at the LA RINASCENTE store on Via Roma one evening not the cheapest but well worth it (Bottle of Prosecco 28 euros but a nice wine)
DO NOT be put off by the surrounding area, we never felt threatened even at 2 in the morning.
The location of this apartment is ideal only a couple minutes from the Via Roma and seconds from the Via Marqueda.
Buy fresh fish meat and veg at La Capo market - not far. and do try the Arancini from Ke Palle only 2 euros
Overall one of the best holidays we have had, breakfasts and evenings on the apartment balcony are one of our outstanding memories.
If you looking for somewhere central, with 3 bedrooms and don't mind a lift that only takes 2 people at a time (very period) look no further
