Location. Couldn’t really ask for better. Everything was within easy walking distance.

The host Alessio. Response time when I asked a question varied from 1/2 hour to +3hrs. Wifi worked for one evening and then ceased to work. The host said he called the “phone company” about the problem. Nothing happened. Luckily there is free wifi around the city for any Internet needs. Host said that local fires burned “the cables”. Just offered excuses. I suspect Alessio doesn’t even live in Palermo or he would have come by the property to attend to the issue. All he said was sorry, but offered no compensation or partial refund. Whatever. Win some, lose some.

Great location, lovely apartment, friendly host who communicates well. Parking available nearby.

The shower could be better.

Super kind and responsive host throughout our stay, before our arrival they even prepared not only the bed but also the couch as requested. Bed mattress and couch + pillows were all comfortable. We had enough towels, soap and toilet paper, all simple but really that's all you need I think. We used the kitchen to prepare something simple every now and then, no issues found. We didn't use the coffee machine so can't rate that. The whole city centre is walkable from this b&b location, and despite being in the centre it's in a quiet spot, please don't spoil the quiet ;) respect the locals who will appreciate if you only party elsewhere, in the party areas of the city, thank you. Some previous guests reported: (1) a loose faucet but that was fixed during our stay, and (2) moldy smells which I didn't notice but maybe it's because the flat has 3 windows on 3 different sides and I opened them all every morning which I believe is what you should do in pretty much any house anyway? Overall, the flat appeared as advertised, simple and clean, I would stay again for leisure.

The flat doesn't seem to get direct light from outdoors despite the windows, but it's very quiet so we slept very well. I don't believe there was breakfast, maybe some coffee capsules, but I'd say exploit the nearby café (bar Santoro in piazza Indipendenza) which offers a very local breakfast, sweet and delicious! Or go to Lidl if you have a low budget, it's walking distance too. There wasn't a microwave but I don't think it's a big issue as I know how to live without it for a few days. Wifi: good signal, the connectivity was unstable so I was unable to work, but this won't be an issue if your visit is for leisure only. The flat is not soundproof so of course it's quiet as long as the neighbouring guests are quiet, but the neighbourhood itself is very peaceful. The neighbourhood appears sloppy on the East & South sides as it's near the popular Ballarò market, but it was safe to walk even after dusk. Stairs at the entrance might be an obstacle if you have a large suitcase.

Logement très bien placé, proche du centre historique et du marché ainsi que d’autres commodités, de plus l’hôte est disponible au besoin

Appartement très sombres (pratiquement impossible de voir la lumière du jour de toute la journée) et très humides avec une forte odeur malgré aération. En ce qui concerne les équipement, l’appartement est sommaire, peu de confort (aucune pression et peu d’eau chaude dans la douche par exemple). Propreté limité, (cheveux oubliés dans la douche, linge de maison troué…) Pas de place de parking gratuite mais un stationnement dans la rue, heureusement que nous étions en basse saison vu la difficulté de trouver une place.
