Myself and my partner stayed at Brigitte’s beautiful apartment in Palermo for 6 nights.
Brigitte was an excellent host - welcoming us personally at check in, and remaining easy to contact throughout our stay. She really made us feel welcome and gave us some local tips to get around the city and its surroundings.
I would say that this apartment is the perfect choice when looking for somewhere to stay in Palermo!
Location:
The apartment is situated in a wonderful location, with a balcony overlooking a small public courtyard, in the Kalsa district of Palermo.
It is easy to reach from the main Palermo Central train station (approximately 10 minutes walk).
In the immediate area surrounding the apartment you can find bars, restaurants and a bakery. The apartment is also within walking distance to two supermarkets (approximately 5 minutes walk) and is opposite the bus stop for the free bus around the historical centre.
We spent the majority of our evenings within a 10-15 minute walk of the apartment as there were so many places you could go for something to eat or drink locally.
Amenities:
I would say that the photos are a true representation of the apartment - it is beautiful and tastefully decorated throughout. Also, although the description states “cozy”, myself and my partner felt it was a very spacious apartment for the 2 of us!
The apartment includes a good sized kitchen area with all the utensils/crockery/cutlery you could possibly need, as well as a cupboard full of oils, sauces, spices, herbs, coffee, tea, sugar (amongst other things!). Brigitte also kindly left us some bottled water, juice and wine (as well as Limoncello and Amaro!).
The lounge area has a very comfortable sofa, a TV and a variety of books, magazines and local information pamphlets
The bathroom is again spacious and well stocked with plenty of towels, toiletries and a hair dryer. The shower was impeccably clean and maintained excellent water temperature and pressure.
There is also a washing machine located in the bathroom - we had some problems getting it to work whilst we were there, but this did not affect our stay at all, and Brigitte was exceptionally quick to respond to our queries and came to take a look at it for us the same day.
The bedroom is large and has a big comfortable double bed, with plenty or wardrobe and drawer space. Brigitte also very kindly provides beach towels - which came in very useful as we weren’t anticipating that the weather would be so hot and sunny at the beginning of October!
There is air conditioning in both the lounge area and bedroom - both units are very effective and straightforward to use.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Brigitte’s apartment and would highly recommend this Air BnB for anyone coming to Palermo - Grazie mille Brigitte!
