This is a flashy place, very well located, at 1 to 5 blocks from excellent coffee/bar/restaurants in Palermo Soho. The apartment is comfortable and, provided using the stairs is not a problem for you, the floating bedroom above is small but beautiful. There is noise from the street but with the windows closed that noise is not a big problem. Two things that for me were more important: the experience at the apartment would have been better if the apartment was cleaner and the internet worked properly - the connection dropped frequently. All in all, a great place, beautiful, fantastic location, even if a bit noisy, would benefit from a more thorough cleaning and better wi-fi.
