We absolutely LOVED staying here! The neighborhood the apartment is located in is BEYOND amazing! So gorgeous, so safe, so much to do. Literally every restaurant, shops or places to walk around are all in Palermo. The apartment is walking distance to amazing restaurants (we actually ate at the same places around the corner more than once because they were so amazing!) A slightly longer walk to a great shopping and dining area as well. It’s quiet in the perfect way- not enough to make you feel alone, enough to make your sleep restful! The balcony is gorgeous- I sat there every morning/ before dinner. We didn’t use the pool or the gym, but the pool looked great. Beautiful doorman building- felt super safe. We also didn’t use public transportation (Uber was so cheap it didn’t seem worth the effort to figure out how to use it) but we saw tons of busses pass by so there are definitely options.
Only downside is that the water in the shower splatters out a bit and you have to dry the floor... hardly a deal breaker!
To be clear- this is what I call a “transactional air bnb”- you won’t meet the host(ess), get much personal attention, and the key is in a padlock on the door. You will communicate with a third party person via the app or WhatsApp (Tomas was amazing and super fast to respond!) so if you are looking for a more interactive experience this is not the place for you! I personally love it- it’s like staying in a hotel with an apartment feel, no need to interact with anyone / answer to anyone etc.
Strongly recommend this apartment! Super clean and the location can’t be beat!
