The apartment is lovely , but upon arrival the entrance foyer of the building seemed messy and the children even commented on the “ smell” ... for an apartment of this price , one would expect 360 degree attention to detail and presentation . Furthermore, in the cooler months , increased heating should be provided; or otherwise , perhaps rugs/ kilims. We found the living areas very cold...and it was only November. In Dec- Feb further measures should be taken. We live in Palermo ( so not just “ passing tourists “ ) and find that often Sicilian houses are not equippped for the few months that are cooler. For the price of the property - this should be a consideration .
