Valeria was an incredible host. She was always available to help during my eight month stay. She arranged for me to be picked up from the airport and met me at the apartment.
The apartment is very comfortable and has everything that you will need for your stay. It's very spacious and the patios are a great place to relax. It's a fantastic apartment I only wish that it was closer to the center of Palermo.
It is located on the edge of Palermo and Colegiales, a bit too far from the action. The closet coffee shop/bar/restaurant is about three blocks away. You also have to walk a few blocks to flag a taxi. Sometimes you just want to walk outside and grab a drink which is quite possible to do in other parts of Palermo. It's about a 20 minute walk to Plaza Serrano. There is a small store on the corner.
It's a fantastic apartment and Valeria is wonderful, just be prepared to walk a bit.
