We had a great stay at Emilia's apartment in Palermo. The location is very convenient - within easy walking distance to plenty of restaurants, cafes, and parks, although you can also easily catch a taxi if you prefer. The bedroom is fantastic - spacious, comfortable, and with an enormous closet (we used it to practice tango!). The living room has an expandable sofa - bear in mind that it is a "bunk bed" of sorts, i.e. 2 single beds - that was comfortable and suited our needs. We didn't really get an opportunity to use the weight-room/sauna - it is pretty small/limited, but a nice perk if you're looking to get your workout on. Emilia is very communicative and helpful, and even arranged for a place to store our luggage on our last day (we had an evening flight).
