This place is excellent for its location in the old center, very near to the cathedral, the Norman palace and Santa Catarina (where you find the best cannelloni). Gianluca is a superhost. For cooking and washing clothes the place failed. There are not enough tools in the kitchen. Fortunately, Gianluca brought immediately what was lacking. Unfortunately, the utensils are rather below basic (quality). The washing machine was not working properly so we had to stop the program and drain all the water manually. The fridge also had a broken door shelf. The apartment looks good. The balcony is nice overlooking dilapidated buildings (a good metaphor for the whole of Palermo). The living room has one heating in the AC. The other heaters, especially in the bathroom, did not work, which made the apartment rather cold. Wifi was ok. Bottomline, the space was just functional enough for sleeping and going out. But for the price we paid, we expected it to be a little better.
