The apartment is more or less as depicted in the pictures. You will be dealing with Luciana, the apartment manager, and not Maria, the owner. Luciana is responsive, but does not respond as quickly as other airbnb people I have dealt with.

The apartment is very nice, and the upstairs balcony with BBQ and cabana is a plus. The location is also nice: 7-8 minutes to the subway and a few blocks walk to the heart of Palermo Soho. It is also pretty quiet.

The experience was great. I only had an issue with the stove not working, but Luciana called the electrician to fix it.

It is definitely a nice apartment. I wouldn't hesitate to boo it!
