Lorenzo's place is beautiful and spacious! Even more so than the photos. It's right in the historical centre of Palermo, so everything is a stone's throw away; sight seeing, restaurants, bars, markets.
There are balconies wrapped around most of the apartment, so you can look out at city streets in different directions and get a taste of Palermo. We were lucky to catch a fireworks show while we stayed, and watching it from the balcony was a highlight of our trip. I stayed there with my mum and my three young nieces (11, 13, 15) and they all really loved the place. The way it's laid out and furnished, everyone can find their own place to chill, work or play or even run around. We only stayed one night and I wish we had stayed longer as the house had a really special vibe about it.
We didn't really get a chance to use them on our short stay but the kitchen and dining are spacious and very well equipped - they would be a pleasure to eat and cook in. I was worried about the noise of traffic at night as the house is near one busy street, but the windows, once closed, block out all the noise and we had a very restful night's sleep.
I will definitely be coming back!
Lorenzo was very communicative and flexible while we organised the check in, he's a sweet guy and wanted to make sure we had a good stay. He made us feel very welcome and the little touches he puts into being a host made the stay extra special. And he said to call him day or night with any questions - which we didn't need to - but it puts your mind at ease.
L'appartamento è pure molto addato per viaggi di lavoro, in fatti la prossima volta che lavoro a Palermo per un periodo lungo, salto l'albergo e vengo certamente qua.
Grazie Lorenzo!
