Maria’s flat is a beautiful flat: well located in the middle of Palermo Soho, yet extremely quiet. It looks almost like the photos, just a bit more empty. Only in the kitchen though did we really miss more „furbishings“: but the next day Maria supplied us with one more pot and a pan, a couple of wine glasses, and some extra towels. She also brought us an additional bed-side lamp - which we ended-up using in the kitchen (that we found in lack of more lighting) .…. The laundry sink was not available for use - as it needed fixing… so we handwashed in the bathtub. It is a flat in an older building (hence charming) but therefore with a few signs of aging that could use a bit of fixing: for instance the shutters could not be kept open properly - so on a windy day they did as they wanted - but it was not really a problem for us… Maria will have some work to do, soon, i guess….
