The location is fantastic. It’s very much a locals neighborhood which was challenging given my poor Spanish at first but I was able to pick up some key phrases and sharpened my charades skills over the 3 weeks I was there.
Main touristy areas of Palermo are about a 15-20 min walk with several little bars and shops along the way.
There was a school directly below the apt so you could hear that after 9 during the week but it wasn’t a big problem.
If you plan on working remotely from this location (as I did for parts of my trip), any voip calls should be done near the router otherwise the signal can be a little weak.
The apartment itself is quite nice. Secured building with guards almost all the time. Plenty of space for one or a couple but any more might be a little tight.
Hosts had a good recommendation list that helped with exploration.
