Alfonso's suites are lovely! The decor and bed was like a 5-star hotel. I slept very well and enjoyed the sunlit porch. I stayed alone for one night, but the space would be great for a longer stay or for a couple.

The location was close to many of the best restaurants in Palermo. But, as a solo female, I did feel a bit uneasy and unsafe on that block alone at night. The hotel is located under a bridge in a very residential neighborhood, so there wasn't anyone around.

Alfonso was very responsive via email. When I arrived, the person who let me in didn't speak English, but we were able to get by in my broken Spanish. Remember to ask Alfonso which apartment number to ring as I got confused when I arrived.
