Compared with previous comments we have read :
- Indeed, the neighbourhood is really dirty with a lot of garbage everywhere, which can make you feel uncomfortable and surprised. It’s the same for a lot of streets in Palermo (so, we guess it’s part of the culture), but sincerely, it’s part of the thing with big cities in general.
However, the neighbourhood where the apartment is located is sincerely safe and people we met around have been extremely nice and welcoming and helpful.
- The apartment inside is cosy, very clean, recently renovated with a nice and modern kitchen and bathroom. It has enough space for a couple but not more.
- The first night was noisy indeed, maybe because it was Saturday night and there was a market on the morning after. The apartment is not very well isolated but Italy is known for people being out late at night, talking loud and cars and scooters noises, so it’s part of the thing too, like in a lot of big cities. But all the other night we spent then were absolutely quiet and we slept very well.
The apartment is located perfectly close to the historic centre of Palermo and its vivid streets, which is really pleasant for going out. Sophia has been easy to text all our stay long.
In a word, we’ve had a good time and the apartment of Sophia is a very good quality/rate opportunity for a couple like us!
