Maria's place was lovely! We stayed there on the last night before our flight and it was a perfect set-up for what we needed. It is a cozy place, and the design is a very efficient use of space to allow you to have a bedroom, a working area, a bathroom, and some appliances for basic food needs (toaster, kettle, coffeemaker, mini fridge). Plus there is a plug on the loft level that worked for our adaptor. My main recommendation for future guests is to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper, as the apartment is at street level. Using ear plugs was sufficient for us, as the bed was comfy and we slept well.
Check-in was easy, and Maria was able to let me leave my bags a bit longer after I checked out since my flight wasn't until later in the day. She was quick to respond to messages and very friendly and welcoming. The home was convenient for getting around Palermo Soho and for walking down to the green spaces closer to the water. It also felt pretty safe. I would definitely stay here again.
