I stayed at this place for a full month and I can share the following:
Pros:
- Location. The apartment’s location is superb, in the heart of trendy Palermo. Close to bars, cafes, restaurants and several supermarkets, it’s also just a couple of blocks away from the subway and all main bus lines. You’re also just 5-10 minutes (by foot) from Bosques de Palermo, so you get the best of both worlds: hectic activity and green peace.
- Cleanliness. Not only was the apartment in great shape when we checked in, Nicolas was also kind enough to send us a maid around one week in and also offered her a 2nd time.
- Communication. Nicolas was always available, proactively and reactively. When we had an issue with the bathroom he was quick to solve it, sending a plumber the next day.
Cons:
- Building. The building is not in great shape, looking quite old. If you’re looking for something aesthetically pleasing, this is not it.
- Bed. Mattress is small and very uncomfortable to sleep on (the spring box might be broken). I’m 6.1/1.85m and my feet would hang out of the bed. This needs some fixing.
- Electricity. Towards the end of our stay, the last two days specifically, electricity kept going away (this unit only). There was something in the wiring system that made the system break down if you were using more than two things at a time (in our case, lights and AC). This made working extremely challenging and frustrating.
Overall, I’d recommend Nicolas’ place. I’d just advice to fix the bed and electricity issues.
