I really enjoyed staying at Maria's place. The apt is great and very spacious, with lots of closet space and a nice bathroom. The pool has an amazing view and is a definite plus on hot summer days. And the location in Palermo couldn't be more perfect, close to all the bustling activities of bars, restaurants, boutiques, etc. and just a short walk to some key milongas for the tango addicts. The gym was non-usable during my time there (no functioning equipment to exercise) but I recommend the place for all its other benefits nonetheless.
