Joaquin was a great host. He responded promptly both before and during our stay and made us feel welcome. The apartment was just as described in the photos. There were nice additional touches like fruit, water and fresh flowers upon our arrival. The kitchen was well supplied with what you need to cook a basic meal. The bedrooms were simple but comfortable. As a family with young children, we appreciated the laundry in the building which was both easily available and worked well. The location, while not on a charming block, was easily walkable to many restaurants in Palermo and there were 2-3 grocery stores in very easy walking distance. Overall, we had a very nice stay at this apartment with Joaquin as our host.
