Super Duper Host
Giulia is the definition of a super host! We cannot say enough great things about our stay in Palermo.
First, the apartment is in an awesome location in the city. It’s easy to get to from the airport (by bus or train). Once there, you are within walking distance of all the historic monuments, museums, and cathedrals. Likewise, there are a ton of great restaurants and cafes all around the neighborhood (which is also safe).
Second, Giulia and her father warmly greeted us when we arrived at the apartment. They spent about 20 minutes going over all the good places to visit and where to eat and drink. They also made sure we knew how to navigate around the city. Giulia made herself readily available at all times. We needed to print our airplane tickets and she was quick to respond back with a copy place nearby. Her father and mother are awesome, too. They even gave us fresh cannolis and a bottle a water (the cannolis were delicious)!
Third, the apartment itself is perfect. Its spacious, gets lots of light, and very clean. The apartment has 2 air conditioners and sky light windows that open and close. The hot water in the shower never ran out and had good pressure (sometimes hard to find in Europe). And the kitchen has everything you need if you prefer to cook. The place is an incredible value (we travel a lot so we should know).
All in all, we would love to revisit Sicily and stay at Giulia’s airbnb again. She and her family made the trip extra special. Perfect location, great apartment, and terrific hosts! Due thumbs up!!
