The property was fantastic with everything you could ask for and more. The courtyard beyond the kitchen is an amazing space to relax, have coffee, and read. Our host was amazing, and helped organize a trip to the beach for us with a private car. When in Palermo stay here!

The perfect place to stay in Palermo
We spent 3 weeks in this incredible apartment and loved every minute of it. To start with, Francesca is incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful - going way beyond what we expected. She waited for us for two hours at the train station, when our train arrived late (and unfortunately due to MY phone problems, she did not get the messages I sent). Even after all that, and the late hour, she kindly spent a lot more time that night with us explaining the flat and the neighbourhood and outlining all the great places to visit, eat, shop in the Historic Centre and on day trips away. She then texted us regularly to check in that everything was ok, and see if we needed any help. She also went out of her way to help me figure out how to get a parcel that I had asked to be sent to the flat, enlisting one of the locals to speak to the mail carrier. She then arranged a driver, at a reasonable price, to take us to the bus station with all our luggage when we left.
And of course, then there is the apartment! It is truly beautiful - spacious rooms with soaring ceilings and very cool furnishings and decor. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked quite a lot - mostly because it was so perfect to eat out on the delightful terrace. There is nothing like sitting under the clear Sicilian blue sky for breakfast, and at night by candlelight (though there is electricity!) The location is also perfect - away from the main tourist area, but only a few minutes walk away. You are just 2 blocks from the waterfront promenade for lovely strolls, like Palermo families do. And the same distance from the amazing Botanical Garden. We walked everywhere - the best way to see this city. We never felt unsafe - and yes, we did wander through back lanes. - day and night! The locals are friendly - and many were incredibly kind to us.
And as for noise - the apartment is incredibly quiet, because the doors and windows have great double glazing. We enjoyed the daily chatter of the locals in the streets when the balcony door was open - we felt like we were getting a taste of real Palermo life.
We would definitely stay again if we return to Palermo and will be telling all our family & friends to grab it if it is available. Thank you Francesca - staying at your place made our time in Palermo perfect!

A Real Winner
Francesca is a real treasure and the apartment a real find. Staying in the historic district suited us perfectly—good restaurants and walking distance to many sights. The outside area was perfect for morning coffee and afternoon wine. Francesca provided lots of essentials in the apartment and went out of her way to get us help for our phones. This was one of our best VRBO rentals—a real memorable stay.

Top Marks for Francesca's Apartment
Top marks for Francesca's apartment in old Palermo. A gritty, genuine locality close to the seaside promenade, two street food restaurants, coffee and pastry stall and a fruit and veg shop. Other restaurants close by. An excellent base for accessing the old town - the location in Kelsa is about 15 minutes walk to the Quatre Canti. The first floor apartment is large with lovely high ceilings. It is well equipped and attractively furnished with interesting period furnishings, books, objects and art work. The courtyard has plants across all walls - a haven of greenery. Francesca can arrange a pick up and return to Palermo airport for a realistic fee. Overall a great base for the independent traveller. Better for two than four; there is only one bedroom.

Wonderful host, lovely apartment
Francesca was a wonderful host. It was great to have her pick us up a the airport and show us around the apartment at check in. She was so helpful when we had logistical questions during our stay. The apartment is on a lovely quiet little alley off a piazza, walking distance to most of the things we wanted to see. There are great street food options right there and easy access to the bus and the rest of Palermo. We loved our stay and would recommend to others. thank you!

Francesca rocks and is super-helpful. She picked us up from the bus station fro free. Also, she gaves us great tips regarding seeing cool places in Palermo etc. The best Pizzeria is next door, and across the street you can eat fresh fish sitting on the street with the locals! Gracie!

Beautiful spacious apartment close to historic neighbourhoods
Francesca was very eager to make our stay comfortable. She offered us taxi service to and from the airport, which made our transition into Palermo much easier.
The large apartment was beautifully decorated with vintage furniture, books and art. We loved having meals out on the terrace. It felt like home. My only concern was the quality of the futon mattress, it was dense and concaved in the center and I had difficulty sleeping well.
The place was located on the fringe of Kalsa away from the noisy center but close enough to restaurants and tourist attractions., although, there were some older gentlemen who would be up at 8:00 am talking very loudly outside. You know, conversation Italian Style (yelling).

Comfortable Place in a Fun Neighborhood
Beautiful apartment in the Kalsa district. Francesca was a gracious and very accessible host. After booking, we noticed that some of the American guide books advised travelers to be cautious in this neighborhood. We found it to be a great location full of friendly people. Felt very safe and glad we stayed here.

Complete satisfaction in Palermo
I really can not say enough about this location. It was spacious, comfortable, exquisitely decorated and conveniently situated very near the waterfront. Several eating establishments were very close to the flat. The terrace was a delightful place for enjoying morning coffee or an evening drink. The neighborhood was relatively quiet and the neighbors were friendly and helpful. Francesca assisted us with useful advice beginning as soon as we made the reservation, offered to pick us up at the airport and return us at the end of the stay. She was really a delight and we would be pleased to stay there again.

Wonderful place
We stayed for a couple days at the end of March 2019. It was a very nice and comfortable apartment. It is in a good location a short walk from the sea. It is also not too far from all the sites. We walked to the touristy part of the city one day for fun, and the second day we took the free shuttle bus which is very close to the apartment. Francesca was very attentive and available if we needed help with anything (which we did not). She also provided us with a ride to the airport (best airport ever). Thank you for offering such a nice place to stay!

Clean, plenty of space, quieter area than central yet everything available
We loved Francesca’s apartment and the area. Good outside fish grill restaurants very close by as well as a variety of other restaurants. Close to the port as well. Area has what we wanted without being in the central overcrowded area..so perfect for us.
Apartment was well kept though it had mold at bottom of shower curtain. If you are looking to food shop and do some cooking, the kitchen is not adequate for that. All in all, we were very satisfied.

Kalsa Terrace
The flat is part of a historical building in the old town centre and is clean, very silent and well equipped.
The neighbourhood is lively both during the day and at night and enjoys the proximity of the sea. Within walking distance you can find shops, restaurants, tavernas, but also important art galleries, monuments and museums, as well as the beautiful Botanical Gardens. The area is well served by public transport and ... Francesca is a sweet hostess, friendly and ready to help.
