Silvia&Marco's place is a well decorated, affordable, and well-located apartment. The value for money is great for this place as it's in the centre of Palermo, near everything you need. The bare essentials are provided for you, and nothing extra. Only a few things need to be noted. Noise is very prevalent in the apartment as you are above one of the biggest markets in town, and even with all the doors shut you can still hear people and music throughout the evening. Also the shutters on the doors don't all hook into the wall so if it is windy they crash against the door frame and make noise. There is a consistent squeaking noise from the bathroom as well that could keep awake a light sleeper. In the bathroom the entrance to the shower is very small, maybe 35cm wide, so if you are a bigger person it is difficult to get into. Marco was great with communication as there were some things on the listing that were not provided (ie cooking essentials) and he provided them for me. Also from what I could tell there was no microwave. For a stylish and cheap simple stay in Palermo this is a great option, but I will say the word luxury did not come to my mind during my trip as it is used in the listing.
