Our stay at Calypso was perfect. We stayed for six nights. Conveniently located across the street from the Palermo train station so we could take numerous day trips from the city center. It was also a 10 minute walk to the historic downtown where you will find everything you need for your cultural, historic, and food immersion into this amazing city. The host was so kind. He upgraded us to a better room for the same price. He answered all of our questions, including where we could do laundry nearby. Gave clear instructions and guidance on how to get to the property and enter the building. It was an unbelievably secure building. You need a passcode to enter the building, a code to enter the suite floor, and code to enter your room. The restaurant options nearby give you plenty of price-level options, which you wouldn’t have if you stayed in the historic center. We highly recommend this place based on the kindness of the host, the location, and the value for price.
