Staying at Federica’s place is like being home away from home. The apartment is right in the middle of the historic center of Palermo, with a nice porch (great to enjoy spritzers at sunset) facing a church (great view). The room is large, bright (if you wanted to be), with lots of fresh air coming in. The AC works perfectly if you want to close the window and shutters for a very dark room and a great sleep. The bed sheets and duvet are nice and soft and the room has a wardrobe, mirror, desk and all kinds of brochures on what to do in Palermo. Federica is all about details, perfection, customer service and being the great host that she is. The place has lots of amenities: coffee, tea, toast, jam, shampoo, etc. The whole place is extremely clean and the pots are great in case you want to cook, which is quite honestly not necessary in a “food” city like Palermo. I enjoyed the nice wine glasses to have my wine though. I have stayed in many Airbnbs and i can say this is the best one when everything is taken into consideration. You will not regret staying here and will not mind the stairs. It is way worth it!!!
