My boyfriend and I stayed 5 nights at Giuseppe´s place in Palermo.The whole place was very nice furnished and decorated. The room and the rest of te apartment was nice and clean , also there is an air conditioner inside the room. There was no kitchen, and we forgot to check it before we booked it, although there was a very nice dining room as part of the shared space. The only problem was noise which was coming from the big street outside.
The position of the apartment is good (not really central, but the city centre is reachable by feet) . There is a very good Gelatto place just 2 min walk down the street from the building on the way to the bus top which takes you directly to the Mondello beach and central train station.
We were late one night because we lost the bus from Cathania, so we actually arrived one day after and Giuseppe was fair enough to give us back the money for the night which as very nice from him.
On the other hand the surprising thing was that we had to pay a tourist tax (1.5 euro per day per person) and that is not written anywhere. This is something that should be written in advance so that guests know they will need to pay it.
In any case, we would recommend everybody to stay at Giuseppe´s place, we had nice time there.
