The apartment is exactly as pictured including the spectacular view of the theatre and Piazza Verdi. The apartment is one of three that share a communal entranceway, located on the second floor of a smart building that mainly contains offices (nice and quiet at all times). The building is nice and secure and the location is ideal for exploring Palermo.
The apartment is only very recently renovated to a high standard and as such everything in it is brand new. Large French doors make it bright and airy. The balcony is nicely sized, decorated with flowers and has nice iron cafe furniture. Perfect for having a glass of wine and watching the husstle and bustle of the piazza below. Very much on par with a high quality hotel room.
Giuseppe was a pleasure to deal with and was a very welcoming host. His English is good and he was always available to us via phone or txt message during our stay should we have needed anything.
I would absolutely recommend this apartment, we had a lovely experience here. Grazzie mille Giuseppe.
