Our stay at Daniele’s was sincerely one of the best experiences we had on Airbnb. On the arrival day we were warmly met with Daniele waiting for us with a key and self-made Limoncello. We had received plenty of useful information - some restaurants around the house and places to visit in and around Palermo. We used many of them and were very positively impressed, most of all we liked to have a brunch at Pan X Focaccia.
The apartment itself feels just at home. You have small but very nicely decorated sleeping room with an air conditioner, then a wardrobe room (!), a living room with a cosy couch in front of a TV with DVD -player and nice stereo system. Think about bringing some favorite DVDs, we enjoyed Moulin Rouge from Danieles collection. You have also an air conditioning and a window in a living room. We got used to have breakfast there with sun shining inside. A small but well equipped kitchen helped us to cook some simple meals or warm up the left overs. It’s not one to be used three times a day but you definitely can cook there. A bathroom is simple but clean and with very warm water and even some small soaps and gels.
We had a very convenient Parking slot near the house. It’s amazing to have one in such a city as Palermo, where everyone is struggling for space. It was a bit challenging to get used to drive in the city, but we enjoyed our trips to Monreale, Monte San Piligrino, Mondello and Cefalù. If you come by car, we suggest you go grocery shopping in a big supermarket outside the city (for things like water, flakes etc), while the ones around the corner are overcrowded and pretty stressful. On the other hand, there is a small market around the corner, where you can buy fresh fruits and veggies, bread and other local specialties.
The location of the apartment is perfect. It lies just outside the busy city center so you don’t get the noice but enjoy walking everywhere within 30 min.
We spent 8 days in Palermo and it was most enjoyable way to do it. Mostly recommended!
