We stayed for a month here and had a mixed experience. The negatives outweighed the positives, so I would not return or recommend to a friend.
POSITIVES: Nice location in Palermo. The parrilla around the corner is really great. The host provided some beers and local recommendations. The living room is comfortable and the patio is nice. A person came to clean the apartment twice. They allowed a late checkout which was helpful since our flights left late.
NEGATIVES: The bed that looks like a large bed in the photos is actually just two small beds pushed together, and they slide around easily. It was impossible to cuddle with my girlfriend without the beds sliding apart and one of us falling in between the mattresses. Between the sliding beds, loud construction sounds every morning, and many mosquitoes in the apartment, it was very uncomfortable to sleep. Also, the shower only is hot for a few minutes.
Additionally, we had a really bad experience the first night. Federico gave the wrong instructions about the door lock, and we got locked out of the apartment. So he told me to climb onto a neighbor's roof and jump down to the patio to get back in. I tried to do this and almost fell, and then discovered the patio didn't even connect to the roof I was standing on. He told me to try another neighbor's roof, and I said I didn't feel safe doing this anymore. So Federico came over to the house, very upset, and was yelling at neighbors to let him in, and they wouldn't let him because he was being loud and angry. When he finally found a neighbor to let him in, he kept trying to convince me to let him step on me so he could jump over the wall (he is much larger than me and this didn't feel safe either). The whole experience was very unprofessional, and I would never do this to people I hosted in my apartment (I would calmly apologize and tell them I'll take care of it, instead of blaming it on them and asking them to do dangerous things to get in).
Overall, I've had much better experiences on Airbnb.
