The house is beautiful and very conveniently located in trendy Palermo. I have been renting in this neighborhood yearly at this time and have a fair idea what to expect. This neighborhood is never quiet...it is a party neighborhood. That being said, although the mid level bedroom was especially noisy as there is a bar next door, it was quieter than expected. The house is fabulous. The initial stairs to bring your luggage up are no joke. They are steep and marble with no railing. Watch yourself! It was not an issue but make sure you can carry your luggage without problems. The kitchen was well equipped with both a coffee maker and an espresso maker for the espresso lovers out there! The appliances were electric and all worked well. The kitchen is not well arranged for actual use but we simply re arranged to our liking and it was great. All the bedrooms with the exception of the mid level bedroom are great. The mid level room is not on par with the others and the shower was tiny with a spout that stuck out in an inconvenient way when showering. two of the rooms had small terraces which was great as it allowed private outside time. The rooftop terrace is really lovely...especially at night!
As for would I rent it again? I am not sure. Perhaps with the right group (which this was) and the right time of year. Again, it is really a beautiful house!
