Marina and her friend Maria were great hosts and were quick to respond. The apartment was cute and well located in Palermo. The building and the elevator were a bit old looking but the apartment was clean and modern. I really like the balcony. Apartment didn't have basic items like toilet paper, hand soap, etc. initally Maria but quick to respond and dropped them the next day. I did see a lot of ants in the kitchen that must have crawled in from the window. Overall, I like my stay at the apartment and would choose to stay there again if I visit again.
