Mariana’s place is great, with views over the zoo from the balcony - you can here the lion roar and watch some capybaras from afar (bring your binoculars).
Mariana was out of town when We were arriving so a friend let us in. Directions were simple and she was great at communicating.
The kitchen is small, but we cooked a couple of meals there with no problems. We had an issue with the toilet not flushing but these things happen I guess.
I’ve heard of others complaining about the lift (elevator) noise, you can hear it but we thought it was pretty quiet.
All in all a good stay and would stay again. Palermo is a perfect location with some great cafes and parks around.
