Valeria is a lovely host. Very friendly and speaks English well. She was welcoming even though I arrived late on the evening of Palermo's most celebrated holiday after a long drive down the coast of Italy. Not wanting to keep her up too late, we planned to meet the next day so that we could discuss more about the apt and she showed me many points of interest on the map left along with other local brochures. The kitchenette was stocked with some food supplies when I arrived, perhaps left behind by others who rented before and the local market is not far away so that makes shopping easy.

The apartment is very comfortable and is exactly as described. Here as a single traveler with my pets during a longer stay, I am very happy with my selection for a longer term rental in the heart of the city. Kalsa is a lively area and only moments away from the waterfront areas of the Foro Italico and the marina. The only negatives I discovered are that the neighbors can be loud at times so I played music to tune out their noise and I did not receive a cellular signal inside the apartment with my service which is something that happens often in the old buildings and cities of Italy. The internet works fine and this was good enough for my needs to communicate and work from home during my temporary relocation from Rome.
