This is a unique apartment in a remarkable neighborhood. It is in a Belle Epoque building, and is traditional, yet it simultaneously has the character of an artists' loft or a greenhouse. There are many stairs and levels, a dramatic interior atrium, and a penthouse room like a ships' cabin, with views over the roof terraces. The parrilla is perfect and so is the adjoining plant-filled terrace. The bathrooms and kitchen are old, but with some new fixtures, and are well maintained and in character with the place. It's discreetly air conditioned with well functioning minisplits (and good natural cross ventilation).
As for the essentials: they were great. Checking in went very smoothly and Eugenia was extremely communicative. The beds are comfortable and clean; we had plenty of sheets and towels, and there is a washing machine. The kitchen actually has nearly all of the tools you need to cook a meal, an Airbnb rarity.
We feel very privileged we were able to stay in a place like this in the heart of Palermo. It is a place that couldn't exist anywhere else but Baires!
