Fairly comfortable apartment in the perfect location in Palermo. Communication was good and the host was available quickly when needed. We encountered some issues with the apartment that were absolutely NOT the host's fault but they were super helpful and quick to get everything worked out and to come up with a fair resolution for the problem.
The apartment itself appears to have been remodeled recently so everything is in pretty good shape, although to my personal taste it could be furnished more comfortably for a long term guest. My girlfriend and I stayed 3 weeks and were a little disappointed with the quality of the appliances and furniture. However this is definitely not a dealbreaker and certainly not an issue if you're planning on staying for a shorter time and spending much of your time exploring the city. :)
At risk of sounding too negative I would warn prospective renters that there are no blackout curtains so unless you are a heavy sleeper expect to be woken up at 630am every morning by the rising sun blasting through the back windows in the summer months. Huge issue for us as very light sleepers but your mileage may vary.
All in all we still enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider the apartment again for future trips.
