Unlike many accommodations, this duplex apartment (with the roof as a third floor of available space) is more attractive than its pictures lead one to believe. To access the first floor, one walks up a flight of stairs (shared by one other apartment) from the street level. The first floor has a comfortably furnished living room, a well-equipped kitchen, a half bath, and a balcony overlooking the street. The second floor has three bedrooms, all of a decent size and all containing ample closets and drawer space. One bedroom has an ensuite bath, and there is a second full bathroom on the second floor that can be shared by the second and third bedrooms. The three bedrooms and the living room all have air-conditioners, which many will appreciate not only for the cooling in the summer, but also to keep out the night-time noise. Finally, there is an expansive roof with a table, chairs, and barbecue grill, which is shared with the building's other apartment (which was unoccupied when we were there). Definitely, a nice bonus.
Kristoffer is a very responsive host, both in terms of communication and accommodating requests.
The location is in the heart of Palermo Soho. That means plenty of restaurants and bars. A good supermarket is a five-minute walk away. Nearby ATMs and other practicalities are scarce. The biggest drawback of the location, from my perspective, was the fact that the nearest Subte station is 1.3 km, or 15 minutes, away. On the plus side, taxis seemed readily available and comparatively inexpensive.
