Simply put it was my favorite Airbnb place to stay and experience. Palermo Garden Suites is fresh, modern and large. It was an utter pleasure to spend an evening on the balcony or by the rooftop pool on a warm summer's evening.

The apartment is well located a few blocks from buzzing Palermo Viejo. It's on a quiet street beside a main avenue with excellent transport links on the metrobus. It has a cafe on the ground floor which was a godsend for caffeine addicts. The apartment was bright, roomy with all mod cons. A week after leaving I already miss it, it felt that inviting and homely.

As for our host Carlos, I cannot commend him enough. He was always attentive, helpful and caring and an extremely friendly guy to boot.
