Pros:
-Responsive host
-Check-in was fairly easy. Apartment is easy to find. I needed to text host when I arrived, so it would have been a little tricky without a SIM card/phone service.
-Apartment was clean and had everything we needed
-Walkable and safe location on the edge of Palermo. A couple places we walked to were 30 minutes away, but obviously some are closer and the Subte/subway stop is only a couple blocks, which was very convenient. We generally felt safe walking around this neighborhood even after dark.
-There's an AC unit in each bedroom and the living room. They didn't cool the room maybe as much as we wanted, but they were good enough (December).
-We drank the tap water and it was fine
Cons:
-My single bed was leaning to the side some and didn't seem very well made, as the fitted sheet came off halfway through the night, but that's a small thing.
