Syl’s apartment is exactly as described and located in the very vibrant and lively Palermo Hollywood, less than ten walking minutes from the Palermo Subte (subway) stop. The building is secured by (always very friendly) doormen who will open the front door for you. There is a small supermarket right across the street and countless bars, restaurants and cafés all around the area. You could probably dine out at a different place every night.
The apartment’s big and spacious master bedroom offers a huge bed, TV and an Apple TV as well as an ensuite bathroom, the second bedroom is smaller but also very functional. The bathroom with rain shower is located right across the hallway. The big living room with adjoining open kitchen is furnished and set up very modernly and stylishly. The kitchen is equipped with basically everything one could need: fridge and freezer, small oven/grill, stove, electric water kettle, Nespresso coffee maker, Nespresso milk foamer/frother, you name it … also we were welcomed by a bottle Melbec and a bottle of vodka in the freezer.
We were welcomed and shown around the apartment by Syl’s friend, who also was very helpful and tried to answer all our questions. Some rather obvious questions though we had to specifically ask before we received the info, but that was not that big of a deal. Just be prepared as a guest to probably keep the most important questions in mind when checking in. But, as communication (in our case via WhatsApp) was absolutely perfect before and during our stay, Syl was always accessible for us and got back to us within minutes. Absolutely no complaints here.
The windows in the apartment don’t seem to be perfectly isolated, so the apartment cooled down rather fast (we were there in May, Argentinian fall) and the windows in the bedrooms were wet and misted up almost every morning. However, there are ACs in every room, so you could heat the rooms up again very fast.
Anyhow, the apartment and its location are great and the communication was perfect. I would definitely stay again and recommend this place to other travelers.
Thanks a lot, Syl.”
