Ralf and his team did an excellent job arranging our stay in this wonderful Palermo apartment. The surrounding neighborhood offers a tremendous variety of restaurants, shops, and bars, many within walking distance. Marcelo was especially helpful in showing us everything about the apartment and the building as part of the check-in process. We were glad that Marcelo took the time to demonstrate how we could reduce the risk of theft while exploring the city. If he offers to share his safety tips with you, it will definitely be worth your time to listen to and follow his advice - he knows his stuff.
As for the apartment, it was bright and airy, with decent water pressure, reliable hot water, and wonderfully cold A/C. We were initially concerned that the apartment might become uncomfortably hot without the A/C running while we were out each day, but the room stayed fairly cool. I wish the air conditioning in the hotels we stayed at on our vacation was as good as the unit in this apartment.
For us, the icing on the cake for us was the in-room washing machine. We wouldn't have minded lugging our wet clothes to one of the coin-op dryer machines on premises, but everything dried out so fast on the balcony clothesline that we didn't need any extra help.
