La Via delle Biciclette

Very clean and spacious. Seconds walk to main pedestrian street. Manlio was an excellent host. We wish we could have stayed longer.

The breakfast was wonderful. Manlio is a great host. He was present the whole time diuring breakfast, offering great tips on travelling in Sicily. He is fluent in Italian, French and pretty good in English. The room is very spacious, comfy beds and very clean. The apartment is in walking distance of everything. Ten minutes from the train station. I would book this again in a heartbeat.

There are a lot of stairs getting up to the apartment. Difficult with a heavy suitcase or for anyone that has difficulty with stairs.

Warm atmosphere. Felt like a private, homely visit.

It would be awesome with access to a proper balcony or a garden.

Manlio is a friendly helpful and charming host that clearly loves what he does and takes pride in the apartment/B&B and sharing information about Palermo. We arrived early in the morning and while we waiting to be able to go to the apartment to leave our bags enjoyed a little cafe a couple blocks away. The neighborhood is safe and super convenient to walk to one of the main markets as well as over to the four corners area. In fact, it was pretty easy to walk everywhere from the aparment if you enjoy walking. There is a Lidl grocery store close by if you want snacks or drinks and the apartment has a fridge (shared) that you can leave things in if needed. Breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. Manlio accomodates both sweet and savory breakfasts, picking up pastries in the morning to go along with yogurt, fruit, coffee, tea and toast. The room was large with the bed and a little table and chairs. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was a good size (but for the shower). Everything was spotless. Would absolutley stay here again on my next visit to Palermo.

Not really, "didn't like", just "to be aware": Shower is true to old European buildings and tiny and if you have knee issues or health issues, note that there are quite a few stairs to get up to the apartment and no elevator.
