Palermo is a lovely area. The apartment was in excellent shape and in a building that felt new. Building security was excellent and the location felt safe. C4 elevators service the floors and work very well. I stayed for 17 days and am returning for another week. For one person, it was very spacious, for 2 it was spacious, for 4 it was fine. Jorge was an attentive and involved host. He made sure to be with the cleaning lady for security. he even brought flowers before my wife's arrival to make her feel especially welcome. This area is an excellent base for exploring the city. Definitely beats most hotels that I can think of. Near bus and subway/underground (Subterranean known here as subte) D line, near parks, near shopping, near food. What is not to like? My advice-- If this is a maybe for you-- Go for it.
