The house was wonderful—Sergio has kept it beautifully. The wine and snacks and greeting from his daughter and her grandfather made our family feel very welcome. There is a bathtub, which was nice for bathing our toddler, and the hot water tank was large enough for all four of us to get a hot shower. The decorative tile floors and other design features really make you feel like you’re in 19th-century Palermo, which definitely enhances the experience. Sergio was also extremely prompt and personable in his communications.
There were two things that were challenging for us. First, it wasn’t completely clear that the third bedroom was actually the living room with pull-out sofa beds (though I could have figured this out from the photos), which did cause some issues for us deciding how to allot sleep spaces. This wouldn’t be a problem for everyone, though. Also, with the construction work going on and other street sounds, it was pretty loud.
Overall, however, the house was very well appointed and comfortable, and the hospitality was top notch!
