We only stayed at Elena's apartment two nights, but we were very happy with our choice. She is an excellent host and her apartment more than met our expectations. She made our arrival easy and smooth, by providing us with directions to the apartment and indicating where there was free parking close by. Not only that, but she was there waiting for us and had already turned on the air-conditioning to cool down the apartment. She took the time to show us around the apartment and gave us information about the apartment itself and suggestions for restaurants as well. As a host, she is excellent:-). Her apartment is as shown in the photos, tastefully decorated and well equipped - (hairdryer, toaster, microwave, etc). There were enough towels and toilet paper and there were other kind details as well. The apartment is on the third (top) floor and there is no elevator. It has two levels and even though it has only one bathroom, the space was fine for 4 adults for two nights. The apartment is very well located even though you might have the impression that the neighborhood itself is a bit run-down. But this is what the historic center is like in Palermo. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to see the real Palermo.
