Cristiana was an excellent and professional host, she allowed us early checking. Was very helpful and responded promptly when we ask questions and required something for the apartment. The apartment is very spacious and the pictures don’t really reflect how much better the place is, extremely clean, furniture and appliances seems recently new. We stay longer than we booked because we like the place but I have to be honest about the neighborhood, the area is very dirty has a big problem with garbage, seems safe but extremely unkempt and also people don’t pick up after their dogs. there is poop everywhere in the sidewalks. Despise the apartment is just 5 minutes away walking to Politeama and the rest of tourist landmarks, the walking there is extremely unpleasant. The entire city has a garbage problem, some areas more than others but in general Palermo is very negligent about collecting it. Also the neighbors are very noise, the neighbor next door play loud music every late afternoon and one night had a late party. We were able to sleep well despise the noise.
