The apartment of Louis is a beautiful, clean and comfortable place situated in one of the better neighborhoods of Palermo / Mondello close (15 min walk) to beach, supermarkets, restaurants and highways.
The apartment is the top part of a larger house where your host Louis lives. This caused us some confusion as we had thought we were hiring the entire place. Probably our mistake.
Louis is helpful and wonderful and the apartment is private enough. The shared pool is great, just as beautiful as in the pictures with a very nice outdoor kitchen. And since the share is only with Louis it really wasnt an issue.
It is recommended to have a car or use taxis to get to the place and as most places in Sicily, the streets can get narrow and scary to drive, including the driveway to the apartment. If you do get a car, get a small one.
The apartment is modern, decently isolated, good airco and has a beautiful view. The kitchen is well equipped and is a joy to use.
WIFI worked fine, though it does have limited reach and some hickups. It never was a real issue for us.
We had some trouble with lack of water pressure at certain moments of the day. As far as we could tell, combination of the water pressure in Mondello, the apartment being on the 3rd floor and others showering at the same time. It would work again as normal 15 min later.
The apartment is nice and quiet though Eva had some trouble with the neighborhood dogs barking till late in the night. She is very sensitive though and I slept like a baby.
Our stay was great, and the location is in our minds one of the best you can get around Palermo. Louis is a wonderful host. All in all a good place to stay!
