Great apartment and location in Palermo!
First of all can I say that this is a genuine review and not the pretend ones that people seem to be able to get despite findings to the contrary!!!!
This was our third Airbnb on a 10 day trip so we did not have great expectations despite the good reviews!
This apartment is spacious, clean, well decorated and comfortable.
Located on the second floor there is an elevator which is great when you have a heavy case plus when you are tired after walking around Palermo!
The living area, kitchen,bedrooms and bathrooms are on the same level.
There is a huge terrace up a flight of stairs which we appreciated greatly.
It was lovely to sit and read there.
The kitchen was equipped with everything you would need including a kettle and expresso machine. There was an iron and ironing board and washing machine ( we did not use).
The beds were comfortable and dressed appropriately for the time of year.
The bathrooms had excellent showers and large mirrors with lights above them!
There even was a separate room to place your case which I used.
We were met by Francesco’s father who was lovely but more importantly went through how things worked.
We arrived in Palermo by train and were at the apartment in approximately 8 minutes.
As our flight was not until late in the evening we were allowed to leave our cases in the apartment which was a great treat. This was only possible because there were no guests that night.
We went to two restaurants ( one of them twice) on Francesco’s recommendation.
The day we arrived we went to Bissco Bistrot on Via Manqueda which was very busy but good food.
For sheer atmosphere go to Anticia Focacceria San Francisco which is in a beautiful square. We had dinner there plus a late lunch before we left.
We walked again back to the train station and got a bus to the airport for just 6 Euros.
All in all a great experience!
