We had originally opted for a cheaper hotel for our stay in Palermo, but after a bad experience there we were forced to scramble to look for a new place to stay for the rest of the 6 days we would be staying here. Alessandro (which is who we communicated with throughout our stay), helped us book this villa for the following day and was so responsive and helpful throughout our whole stay. Having never been here, we had a lot of questions and Alessandro was awesome at guiding us during our trip. The place is just as pictured and was very spacious and comfortable for my wife and I. It was clean and tidy, and offered probably one of the best views in Palermo. Overall a very positive experience and we were happy with our stay here.
With that being said, there were a couple of things that weren't necessarily deal breakers for us, but may be for other people. Some of the appliances/furnishings were a bit outdated and had to be handled with care. The shower's water pressure wasn't the best and the water fluctuated between hot and cold during the shower. To our knowledge, there wasn't an actual jacuzzi, which was one of the things that had attracted us to this place. Being that we were in a residential area, it got noisy at times with neighbors and dogs barking (sometimes late at night).
Last note, and also more something we could've been better about researching, is that we struggled to get a taxi to and from the Airbnb. It was expensive and almost every time we approached a taxi driver they seemed confused as to where we were staying after showing our address. Alessandro did check in on us on a daily basis though and even offered to arrange our transportation, we just opted to walk to certain places to take the more scenic routes. We would've been lost without him! Also if you have the chance, take the offer for the boat ride! It was beautiful and definitely worth the experience!
