Firstly Francesco was a fantastic accommodation host who could not have been more accommodating from initial enquiry until our departure, even facilitating both early check-in and out. We received a prompt response to queries ahead of our holiday and on the one occasion we had a problem during our stay, Francesco responded within a minute.
The apartment was exactly as expected from the pictures it really is that beautiful and the original floor tiles are even more impressive in real life. We stayed for 6 days and had everything we needed to prepare and cook a meal.
The location of the apartment couldn't have been better, with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars a short walk away. We felt very safe wandering around the area local to the apartment at night, I do not think that would be the case with some other areas of the city we visited.
A couple of previous review commented on noise, we did not find this to be a problem at all. It is in the city, not the countryside but the shutters, doors and curtains do good job of blocking out light and noise and during our stay I slept for longer and awoke later than I have in years.
If you are planning to visit Palermo, I cannot think of a better place to stay or a more perfect host.
Thanks again Francesco
