We enjoyed a one month stay in the apartment owned by our host Toti and enjoyed every single day in a great city.
The apartment is located in a good residential area so we felt safe at all times of the day and night. The property faces onto a busy road so you have plenty of opportunity to watch the Palermo world go by from the terraced sitting area. All the amenities you would need for everyday living are within walking distance, banks, supermarket, butcher, green-grocer, fish-monger, deli, bakery, bar, restaurants.....they are all there to enjoy. Buses pass the apartment to take you into town, or you can walk to the Teatro Massimo in about 20 minutes.
The apartment is a very secure and a good size for two people, it is quiet because of the shutters and double glazing. The kitchen diner is clean and functional. The hob and oven work well. Fridge is family sized with a small freezer compartment. There is a good selection of pots and pans when you want to cook and dine in. All crockery/glassware was new and unchipped.
The living room is similarly of a good size and fitted out with wall units, sofa and a comfortable leather chair. The tv works well and there is a cd unit for playing music if required. Internet access was good during our stay.
The double bed was more than comfortable and there was plenty of hanging and storage space. The bedroom is very quiet at night. Aircon is available if you find it too hot. The central heating worked well during our winter stay.
Bathroom was good with a combined shower and bath. The bath was especially good with plenty of hot water available at all times.
Cleaning, clean towels and sheets were supplied once per week as agreed.
Toti was a good host with a light touch, available when needed but discrete when not.
All in all a good place to stay and enjoy the delights of Palermo.
