We had a great time during our one-week stay at the Guapo studio. The location was perfect for us - just a couple blocks from Plaza Italia (where there is the subte and lots of bus lines), easy walking distance (10 minutes) to all the great restaurants and shops in both Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood, and easy walking distance to all the nice parks in Palermo as well.

The studio itself was clean and well-equipped. No problems with hot water or anything else. We loved waking up to the view from the 11th floor (as others have mentioned, definitely go up to the gym on the 31st floor to admire the views too). It was also nice to be in a building with security at the front gate.

The only slight issue was that there was a miscommunication about how were were supposed to meet Ralf and check in, which resulted in us waiting for almost an hour upon arrival (we didn't have a working cell phone yet). However, Ralf was very apologetic and handled this issue to our satisfaction. On our last day in BA, we had a late flight out but someone else was checking into the Guapo studio, so Ralf allowed us temporary use of another apartment in the building (Sky Loft - also lovely), so we could leave our luggage there and freshen up before our flight. We very much appreciated that.

In summary, we recommend Ralf's properties and would not hesitate to rent from him again!
