If you arrive in a taxi from the airport and want to walk around Palermo, this is the ideal location. It is almost at the center at Quattro Canti. It is almost across the street from the Fontana Pretoria and great churches and just between the two best street markets. The apartment is spacious and quiet. It is furnished with taste and quality. It was a pleasure to look at the art.Unfortunately, we drove into Palermo. I have driven extensively around Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Italy. With few problems, only the occasional rerouting. But GPS cannot deal with the streets of medieval Palermo. I finally had to hire a horse-drawn carriage to act as the offensive line to get us up via Vittorio Emanule from the port.The owner was no help at all. I wrote her we were driving in and our projected time of arrival. At that point, a day in advance, she said to call her brother. Which I did and he said to call Antonio or ?his wife? I forget and gave me another number. When we were hopelessly lost I called him but he disconnected and I had no answer from the other people. I had been in Sicily for a week by this time and had had no problem with speaking Italians with anyone. The carriage driver was able to talk to the brother and get instructions.Then Antonio met us and carried our bags in and got someone to put the car in the garage. He told us he was only there to hand out keys. Take a taxi.
