The apartment is in a great location on the east side of Palermo Soho. Close enough to enjoy the restaurants, bars and shopping and just far enough to also enjoy tranquility. The place is clean and our hostess Silvana was very helpful, responsive and accommodating for our early check in and storage of luggage at the end of our stay. If the pool is a main criteria then verify that it is available for your use. We were very disappointed to learn only once we arrived that it was closed for maintenance our entire stay. This was one of the main reasons we choose the apartment. Also FYI the washing machines are in another building so not very convenient if you plan to do your own laundry. Silvana did recommend a lavanderia around the corner which was more than reasonable. All in all, if pool available, we recommend the apartment without hesitation. Stayed Dec 2019.
