The apartment is very clean, bright, well equipped, with comfortable bed and memory foam pillows. It has been superbly maintained, with every our need from changing a dead lightbulb to request of an extra towel having been taken care of momentarily. For a prolonged stay of more than 1 person, it would be nice if the apartment had had even if small dining table in addition to a narrow breakfast bar in the kitchen, but that was the only and rather a minor inconvenience that we encountered during our month-long stay.
The neighborhood is fantastic; it is in the residential, not the most touristy part of Palermo, but still with all the advantages of the Palermo living: safe, quiet, well lit at night, with both major supermarkets and small groceries and inexpensive cafes nearby. In my extensive travels with Airbnb, I have been extremely lucky having great hosts at all times, and this said, Matias has been THE BEST host I ever had! Always there for you, super organized, friendly, personable, and truly, truly caring. Thank you so much, Matias!
