I have to agree with the other reviewer: as nice as the place looks in the photos it's even better in real life.

One of the owners of this apartment is a set designer/architect and it totally shows. The place has been very thoughtfully put together with beautiful details everywhere. What makes the place special is that it feels simultaneously high end and "homey"/warm.

The location is also great. You are always within a 15 minute walk from most of the places you probably want to go in Palermo.

I apparently did not read the description of the place closely enough and was surprised that it included a caretaker. Cris was AMAZING, stopping in daily to tidy up, get groceries and help in any way possible. When I mentioned we were going to have friends over for some drinks she helped us track down snacks and even - unsolicited - put out beautiful fresh cut flowers.

If you are traveling with a group of people to BA this is definitely a bargain compared to a hotel and so much nicer. I can't recommend this place enough. Everyone in our party were sad when we had to leave.

When I get back to BA I will definitely stay here again.
