I've been an avid Airbnb user and host for many years now. But just occasionally you strike gold...and that's how we felt about this amazing palatial style apt. Not cheap, but def worth the coin. We enjoyed 4 fantastic days in Palermo, and found it an enticing mix, both gritty and pretty in equal measure. Andrea was an attentive host and the admin of check out / in was seamless. Yes, the stairs - as beautiful as they are in their ox-blood and chalk marble glory - were a challenge with the suitcases, but a small price to pay for the reward. We'd recommend this experience wholeheartedly...:-)
