This apartment is like staying at a friend's house. The host is incredibly friendly and even provides some delightful treats at the beginning of the stay (cheese, meat, prosecco, beer) in the fridge as well as some treats/pastries on the kitchen table. He also is very communicative and will check in almost daily (sometimes in person when he passes by and other times via text) to make sure you have everything that you need. He even noticed one day that one of our towels had fallen from the balcony and returned it back to our apartment, on the balcony. Speaking of towels, he has quite a bit of towels and extra sheets/bedding if needed. The apartment is centrally located to all of the places Palermo has to offer. This is a give and take because every morning you will hear noise in the street (like the shop owners opening their doors or the garbage truck collecting) but you also do not have to take a taxi or bus to get anywhere, you can go by foot to all the major attractions. The apartment is also very close to a Lidl which we found helpful.
The host is very chill, we had a wine glass break and he simply told us not to worry about it (versus other hosts I have had who would make you replace it or pay for it). The internet is good, we had no issues with it. The air conditioner is also good and works perfectly. In case the set up is not clear from the pictures, there is a room with a master bed (sleeps two people) which connects to another room which is the living room but also has 2 twin beds in it, one against either wall. All the rooms are connected but they all have doors that can be shut for privacy. The master bedroom door has some little windows in it so you also need to shut the kitchen door for ultimate darkness. Speaking of the kitchen, it had all the necessary things you could think of and more. Wine glasses, beer glasses, espresso maker, dish soap etc. It is not very large but it is a good size for anything you may need.
The bathroom is bigger than others in Sicily. It has an accordion door. The shower is the best, sometimes the water pressure is not 100% but at least it always has hot water and you can move around in the shower because it has some extra space. The toilet is not very strong (this is common for Sicily) so you must throw toilet paper in the trash can and sometimes flush multiple times if you have a lot of waste. The balcony is not so large so people can sit on it, but you can open up the doors and get some fresh air and also can hang your towels to dry on 2 clotheslines the host has provided.
There are TV's provided in the main bedroom and living room, you will need an HDMI cable if you want to connect your laptop. The tile floor, as mentioned in the listing, is historic. The ONLY suggestion I have is that there were 2 tiles broken in the kitchen and a rug was put over them. We had no issues with the tiles but I hope it is not dangerous to have broken tiles like that, perhaps since they are historic they take some time to replace. This was a great place to have a holiday to Sicily with 3 other friends, we all easily managed to get ready in the apartment and have all our things there with no space issues. If you are looking for a pristine hotel, this is not for you. But if you are looking to experience the true Sicilian lifestyle and feel like you are staying at a friend's house (with some manageable quirks) then I would recommend this place!
