Let me be honest : I didn't want to write a review. Not because the place didn't deserve it, but because as someone who has to go to Palermo once or twice a month, I didn't want to give this place too much visibility. After all, I'll need it available the next time I stay in Palermo...
That being said, this is a "rare find" (as AirBNB delicately puts it) indeed. Perfect location, a small building where every neighbor has a distinct flavor and personality, like in classic Italian movies. A beautiful space lined with a life's worth of books, and where every object, every single one of them, is here for a REASON. The place feels lived in, almost defined by those who inhabited it, and in many ways, it's a trip back in time to stay here, back to a time where real, actual people rented real, actual places out of love and trust, instead of nowadays's formulaic, Ikea-furnished appartments which you can barely distinguish from one another, from Capo Verde to Budapest.
Thank you so much.
