The apartment was everything we expected it to be: clean, fully stocked with all the kitchen utensils, and spacious. The most notable feature without doubt is the terrace where you can sip your coffee or wine as you enjoy a wonderful view of the "cattedrale." The apartment is conveniently located near the Teatro Massimo, not far from the Piazza Politeama, just around the corner from the Capo market, and only about ten minutes away from the "cattedrale." As a matter of fact, just about all of Palermo's major sights (add the Palazzo Reale, the Piazza Marina, the Fontana Pretoria, and the numerous churches) can be reached on foot within 20 minutes. I should also mention the Ristorantino Spano, an excellent (if somewhat pricey) seafood restaurant, which is no more than a five-minute walk away.
Luigi is an excellent host/landlord: when we arrived, he met us at the bus stop at Piazza Politeama, and when we left, he drove us back there; we greatly appreciated his kindness since it saved us dragging our suitcases for about a kilometre or enticing a taxi into the narrow street. At one point, the elevator stopped working properly: we had barely sent off an e-mail to Luigi, when the repairman showed up and had it all fixed again. Luigi clearly very much cares about his guests.
We can recommend this apartment to anyone who wishes to live close to the major sights and the heart of Palermo, and who wishes to live as a Palermitan among Palermitans.
