The place cost more than twice what our last apartment in Palermo, but was smaller, with no window to the outside and very dirty. We were charged $125.38 additional for cleaning which obviously had not occurred in a long time, plus $66.38 "service" charges when we only saw him the day we arrived, vastly more than our other apartments. I couldn't walk from the bathroom to the kitchen to put my shoes on after showering without having to wipe dirt and fuzz from the floor off my feet. Under beds, fixtures, and furniture had dirt from many prior tenants. Bathroom fixtures were dirty which should have gotten a deep cleaning between each visit. The bathroom faucet screamed loudly every time you turned it on. My son found cockroaches twice in the kitchen. Old food in refrigerator. The towels were shabby and bleach stained. Owner spent two hours trying to get us to provide him with dollars at an agreeable rate for himself as well as trying to rent us the apartment long term.
