Francesco welcomed us and was super helpful with the check in, plus he's very efficient with comms if you need anything during your stay.
The flat itself is on Via Maqueda, which is the pulsating heart of Palermo, so an ideal location for exploring the city.
The door of the flat would benefit from a new lock, the current one can easily jam and is very fiddly to unlock. Fortunately there are two more doors so it does feel very safe and secure.
The interiors of the flat are nice, but we rearranged the furniture during our stay bc the small TV sits too far from the sofa. The balcony is lovely and we had all our meals there. The fridge is super tiny, with a microscopic freezer compartment that takes nearly 48hrs to freeze a tiny ice tray - not ideal if you plan to have a few meals in the flat over a week. The bathroom was large but the shower tray doesn't drain properly, so we literally had to use a squeegee to push water into in. The kitchen area is well equipped with kettle and moka pot, pots and pans, plates, cutlery and glasses, but the waste bin under the sink doesn't have a lid, so every time we came back into the flat we got a whiff of bin smell - not ideal. The worst thing about the flat is unfortunately the bed. The mattress is prone to caving in, and we found the bedding to look a bit tatty and old, plus the pillows were lumpy. One more thing to note is that the balcony door is the only source of natural light in the flat, and there isn't much through flow if you're looking to enjoy the evening breeze. If location and low price are your priorities, we recommend this flat, but there's definitely room for some improvements.
