Our best Airbnb experience. Vittoria & Francesco were fantastic hosts and communication was easy with plenty of helpful advice and recommendations. Francesco met us at the apartment and seemed happy to accommodate our late arrival. The apartment was easy to find after taking the bus from the airport which Vittoria was able to advise us on, a simple straightforward journey. The apartment is centrally located but not too near to noisy bars or restaurants, these are a short stroll away. The ‘Hop on, Hop off ‘ bus stop was very close to the apartment and easy to find as was the bus to the beach in Mondello.
The apartment was a wonderland of design and retro homage with all the modern appliances and fixtures that one hopes for, for a comfortable home away from home. The kitchen is well kitted out with everything needed for a complete self-catering stay, although with all the lovely bars and restaurants nearby this isn’t necessary. The kitchen is a very bright sunny spot in which to take croissants and coffee for breakfast, with doors straight on to the fabulous terrace. Although the weather was not always warm enough during our short stay, on the day the sun shone we really appreciated the private terrace with its sun loungers and table and chairs we had many moments enjoying a Gin and Tonic here. The planting and specimen succulents were a sight to behold and were a truly wonderful screen from the world. The terrace was a great window to the life below and you could spend hours just watching the world go by.
The main area has a fantastic sideboard incorporating a large bluetooth speaker which allowed great music listening possibility. The whole apartment has such a fantastic stylish ambience, with quirky items that were strategically placed for curiosity. The bed was extremely comfortable with lovely luxury quality linens allowing for a great nights sleep. The ensuite had a full-size drencher shower with a hand spray too. Plenty of towels of varying size and shampoo and soap were supplied saving space in the suitcase. All the lighting was really interesting and again very stylish.
Vittoria & Francesco you should both be truly proud of what you have achieved so far if you only started out in March your Airbnb is absolutely magnificent. If there weren’t so many places we still needed to see then we’d be back in a heartbeat.
First class, super cool apartment and owners. Thank you again.
