Our stay at Casa Cartari was an absolute pleasure end to end. I would probably go so far and say that it has been the best AirBnB I have ever been to. Even though we arrived quite late on a Thursday Chiara was waiting for us in the flat, welcoming is with traditional street food from Palermo and two cold beers in the fridge. The next day she provided us with great restaurant recommendations and other tips for our stay in Palermo.
The flat was clean and offered all the amenities that you could ask for. The maisonette style layout of the flat with its old exposed wooden framework gives the place a very original atmosphere and you immediately feel like you are part of the old town of Palermo. Also there is a big (even though not so wide) balcony for the entire length of the flat which is lovely to have breakfast in the morning and a cold drink in the evening. The neighborhood seemed quite save and we never had any bad encounters. However, the neighbor is also famous for its bars and nightlife and there are two bars down the street where locals stay outside, drink and chat long into the night so in case you are sensitive to noise that might be an issue. For us it was great since we stayed out late anyway and had a couple of drinks down there ourselves one night.

To sum up, we can definitely recommend staying in Casa Cartari. Lovely flat, lovely hosts and lovely neighborhood.
