Zulma’s place is a good budget place in Palermo as most other places in Palermo we quite a bit more expensive. The room has everything you need (little kitchen, bed, shower), Zulma is very friendly (we haven’t met her but spoke via WhatsApp) and the check in process with a key lock was convenient. However, what was disappointing to me:
- the room is right above a few clubs (loud music until 6AM on the weekend) and next to a large road with massive construction site (starting to drill at 6AM, also during weekends)
- the neighborhood does not feel very safe (we always took a taxi)
- it is far from metro stations (>15 min walking) and 30 min to most Palermo highlights. If you stay outside Palermo much better Airbnb apartments are cheaper (we also stayed in San Telmo with much better value for money) and also take you to Palermo (by metro) within 30 minutes
- the room was not super clean (e.g. dust and hairs) and some furniture is old / broken (e.g. loose shelves on the wall)
