We could have slept on the top balcony. It is a really great space and super comfy. The beds are nice and the showers are warm. There is a lot of open space to hang out in. The kitchen is workable. I cooked a lot, but I think most people would much rather enjoy the amazing food in Palermo. Like most of Palermo, the building doesn't look great from the outside, but the apartment is nice on the inside. You are off a major shopping street. Close enough to get fast access, but far enough away from the noise. The hosts were great. I would stay there again. I would add that any the negative comments on this apartment (to date) are most likely coming from people with unreasonable expectations.
