The apartment itself is in need of some upgrading if you are picky, but it's not bad, and I found it about as expected from the pictures. The terrace is facing south, so no sun, but a nice place to relax in the summer. You will get all the sun you need on the rooftop terrace. It's really exceptional. A nice pool and always plenty of available sunbeds while I was there. The gym was sometimes crowded, since it's small with a limited amount of equipment, but it will do if you are just trying to keep in shape. The neighbourhood is great. Lots of restaurants and you feel secure. If you want to be closer to shopping and partying, other areas of Palermo are better, but they are within walking distance.
