Pros: my first priority is always location, and the location at Martin's place is perfect. Many bus lines are a block away, and if you want to go to the center, the subway (best way) is also within walking distance. Lots of good cafes and restaurants within a block or two, and close to the action of Palermo without being in the middle of it. There's huge window with a remote-control operated blind, so you can flood the place light or black it out completely. Unit is at the back of the building, so minimal street noise. Safe neighborhood, doorman on duty at night.

Cons: the place is showing signs of wear and tear, maybe from the steady parade of Airbnbers. (Carpet is in really bad shape.) If cooking at home is your thing, this might not be the place for you. There are some pots and pans, but the only utensils are a few pieces of basic silverware. (Good luck flipping your omelet with a soup spoon)

All things considered it's a good place in a great location and fair value for the price. I would stay here again and I'd recommend it.
