Total 5/5 for Marcello and Michele‘s Apartment.
Location:
First things first, because it kinda surprised us: The neighborhood is very typical for vucciria, palermo, which means its noisy, rough and full of life. If you‘re looking for a cosy getaway where you don‘t run into anybody don‘t stay here, but then Palermo might not be for you at all. That being said - you can‘t live any more central in palermo. the apartment is located in the heart of the old town and is super close to alot of awesome bars and restaurants of all price ranges, and the main attractions like historical sites and food markets are also super close (we never walked more than 10/15 mins to get anywhere). It is the perfect location to start discovering palermo, and i feel the neighborhood is extremely typical and authentic.
Hint: For supermarket go to „Familia“.
Apartment:
Apartment is exactly as described in the listing. We enjoyed the big kitchen which is equipped very well (we line to cook some typical food for the country we‘re visiting). Also the bed is huge and very comfortable. The living room is spacious and invited us to just kick back after a day of getting lost in Palermo‘s million of side-alleys and hidden gems.
Communication/Host:
We were greeted by Michele, super friendly guy from Palermo. He met us on the street, showed us into the apartment and really took his time to explain the place to us. He also gave us a lot of great tips for Palermo to get us started. Apart from that, all our stupid questions were answered immediately anf the hosts been very helpful :)
All in all we really enjoyed our stay and are definitely planning on coming back to palermo for a long weekend when opportunity arises, so we‘re hoping you guys keep working on the house/apartment :)
Cheers,
Max & Mary
