Rodica's place is located perfectly for exploring Palermo by foot as well as catching a bus to go out and about, with heaps of restaurants and historic sites within walking distance.
The place itself is still very quiet despite being so central and thus offers a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The kitchen sadly wasn't as well equipped as anticipated, with no forks for instance and only one knife to be found. Some of the dishes in the cabinet were kind of filthy and covered with remnants of dried-up food, which was probably due to the lack of a sponge in the kitchen, but not something one would usually expect or desire. My white socks also didn't stay white for long upon walking on the floor, so I feel like a good scrub beforehand would have been helpful.
Unfortunately only one of the two air-conditioners happened to be working, (which was luckily the one in the bedroom) therefore I would not advise using the sleeping couch in the living room since it would be too warm even at night.
(Notable might also be the fact that the main bed is only 1,90 metres long as opposed to 2 metres, which means taller people (as myself) will find their feet dangling down from it.)
