Great apartment, close to everything
My wife and I stayed in this apartment for 5 nights and loved everything about it. It’s in a residential neighborhood and yet a short walk to most things we wanted to explore. The host, Colagero, is a native of Palermo and is a superb resource if you want to find out where to go, where to eat, etc. He and his wife are journalists who have a deep interest in their city as a “crossroads of cultures.” I’ve never had a host from whom I learned so much, and who was such a charming person to talk to. The apartment has everything you need, including a lovely kitchen, and there are bakeries, salumerias and fine restaurants very close to it. We walked to two of the historic markets — Capo and Ballarò — and strongly recommend you check them out. They go back to the times of the Arabic open-air markets and retain much of that lively culture. Exceptional food in Palermo’s many restaurants, great wine, and the churches, piazzas, and palazzos are all worth visiting more than once. I cannot recommend this place, this host, and this city strongly enough. We are back in NYC now but are already planning to be back.
