This studio apartment is as it appears in the photos, bright and clean and Alessio and his cousin were very welcoming and communicative offering homemade biscuits and many suggestions about what to do and where to eat during our stay.

The apartment itself however, has several inconveniences that need to be addressed, I have told the host about these things directly and trust it will be solved for future guests. Important to note however, this apartment has an electrical problem, we experienced power outage 7 times during our stay (1 time in the entire building for an entire day, which can happen rarely but no problem because we weren't staying home all day) but 6 times in the flat itself. Thankfully the host left instructions on how to turn the power back on in the basement. I know this can be a difficult problem for the host to solve but guests should be aware, especially if you are a single traveller and the power goes out when you are in the shower (this happened to my husband, thankfully I came home in time to turn it back on).

Unfortunately the street itself is quite dirty with garbage and dog poo (but we're from Paris so we're used to that haha!). Nothing the host can do about that but good to be aware.

Those things being said, sincerely, we had a nice time in Palermo despite these and other issues and Alessio was quick to respond to any questions or help we needed so we are thankful for that. With some small improvements this can be a reasonably good and inexpensive place to stay.
