The place was nice but not overwhelmingly nice. The pictures are certainly staged. However we enjoyed our stay in Palermo. Christian the owner is also very helpful. We would have preferred the accommodations to be a little more luxurious as certain appliances need to be updated but the place itself serve its primary purpose as being comfortable enough and within close proximity to the attractions of Palermo Soho.
The place is across street from a great cafe Foundation Colombia which I would highly recommend and the building is within close proximity to many restaurants. You can walk to the subway in ten minutes and also walk to Palermo Hollywood for great shopping. The place is perfect for young, more artsy travelers looking to travel and stay at moderate accommodations on the cheap.
