Review:
Stayed here for 5 months during my studies. Initially very pleased. Place is exactly as it appears in the photos, very pleasant and open, good size nice balcony. Very lovely place. Mario and his family are lovely and genuine; helped us whenever we had an issue. And really did the best they could, his family are very kind and easy to talk to.
The place is very close to Palermo and only 10 min walk from the B line. Safe area also!
Negatives: the WiFi when it is working is good and fast however there were many times when this was not the case and my flatmate and I would have to constantly restart the router or wait til certain hours of the day to use it. At one point we would go to bed with no WiFi, was quite hard to deal with but towards the end this improved.
▪️The neighbours. In general, the people that live in this building are lovely and welcoming. However the people living directly below Marios flat are extremely noise sensitive and constantly complaining. I could not even walk to the bathroom in the early morning without them complaining about it. - I felt uncomfortable about this.
▪️The cleaner did an extremely good job. Freshly clean sheets and room weekly! I felt very grateful. However towards the end of my stay she became quite inconsistent and had quite a nasty attitude towards us as the months went on, I bought her a gift to say thank you for everything and she had hardly anything to say in response.
Overall I would definitely recommend this place because the good points did outweigh the bad. It really is a lovely space, perfect size and very airy the surrounding area is very convenient also. Many bars and restaurants nearby and convenient stores. Just be wary of the people living below.
Mario thanks for everything, Take care.
