Virginia’s accomodation is one of the best Air BnBs we have stayed in. At the time of our stay (July 2019), it was sparkling clean with thoughtful touches such as breakfast supplies (croissant, jam, crackers and a water bottle).
It is a very stylish space and it’s clear that the host has put a lot of thought and love into the furnishings and interior decoration. It’s the kind of accommodation you look forward to coming back to after a long day of exploring the streets of Palermo.
Best of all were the balconies providing amazing views of Piazza San Dominica. If you are looking for a place with wonderful piazza views, this place really hits the mark. Although not clear from the photos, there is definitely enough space for a couple to sit outside and enjoy a drink or meal on the balcony. There is a restaurant right downstairs and you get the same view / ambiance from the balcony.
Check- in process was very smooth. Virginia met us and took us on a tour of the home, providing helpful tips and suggestions for nearby restaurants. She is a wonderful host and clearly strives to give her guests a wonderful experience. She made us feel right at home.
Wifi worked fine for us, no issues at all.
Location wise, this place is vey central. A few minutes walk to the Ballaroo and La Vucciria
markets, and walking distance to many of the other major attractions and streets of Palermo. It’s central location means the surrounding area is generally noisy throughout the day and into the evening. If you choose to stay in central Palermo you should definitely expect noise at night. We used earplugs at night and weren’t too disturbed by the noises.
We highly recommend this place. It was slightly over our budget, but definitely worth it. Thank you Virginia for your wonderful hospitality!
