Elina and her place were both lovely. The apartment has lots of nice artistic touches. There is a steep staircase to get there, so be warned if you are travelling with heavy luggage. The major reason I docked points off my review was that I was in Palermo during a run of 30-35C degree days and it turned out that the air conditioner was only located to cool one bedroom...and was not working during our stay. The neighbourhood is a bit too noisy to leave all the doors and windows open for a breeze, so sleep was hard to come by, unfortunately. Hopefully Elina will have the AC fixed soon!
