The bed and pillow. And too noisy from the street

The design, the location, the space

We were really lucky to find this appartment in Palermo! The location is just fantastic: in the very city center and walking distance to all the important landmarks, as well as some really good restaurants. The appartment is well maintained and clean, with a mix of classic and modern furnishings, very stylish and nicely decorated. The large windows with balcony offer some fine views of the street below (see pictures). The kitchen also includes a mokka pot to prepare coffee for yourself. The communication with the owner (Michael) was straightforward and he kindly helped us with arranging the parking spot for our car, which is some 300m away. Breakfast was part of the deal, served in a nearby coffee shop (coffee + croissant). For a family of three the appartment was spacious enough and exceeded all our expectations. It offers an excellent value for money!

Very cosy and trendy, excellent location. It’s a very welcoming apartment with all the essentials and a few extras such as sweets, water and juice.

Wonderful cosy, comfortable and spotless apartment! It was only a one-night stay, but it was a great experience. The appartment is really nice - decorated with taste, spacious and equipped in AC, small kitchen, sofa, table etc. Location is perfect - you are in the very heart of the city, a few steps away from the main attractions. The only thing that could be improved was a bit too hard pillows (which will be replaced, as the host assured us). We were grateful for a bottle of water we found in the frigde :)

We had a nasty case AFTER we left the apartment - when we were already home. I received a strange request by Booking for damages to the apartment that I definitely did not cause. But eventually the owner and I were able to settle the matter and he realized that he had made a mistake - my advice is to stand your ground in these situations. As for the apartment itself, although it was clean, the apartment is a bit worn out and perhaps needs a little refreshing if possible. It is true that the street is quite noisy and the noise insulation in the living room is not good, but the bedroom door solves the problem when sleeping. A new kettle to heat water and a few more wine glasses would be helpful :) The fact that you need a key in the apartment if you want the air conditioner to work creates a small case. If one person wants to stay home warm and take a nap and the other wants to go for a walk outside, that's not quite possible - you either have to take the key from him and turn off the heat accordingly, or you have to wake him up so he can unlock the door for you. But that's the way it is in many places - I guess in order to avoid leaving the air conditioning on during the day while the apartment is empty.

Excellent location - the apartment is within walking distance of both the train station and major attractions. It is practically on the main pedestrian street which is full of great places to eat. There are also supermarkets nearby if you want to stay at home and cook something up. The apartment has a small but well equipped kitchen - we cooked a nice pasta, and there is a mini oven for reheating and finishing off, which does an excellent job with yesterday's pizza or croissants. Apart from the kitchen, there is everything else you need - comfortable bedroom, spacious living room, nice bathroom without any hot water or pressure issues. Nice balcony over a typical little Sicilian street. Very clean, no remarks, which for me is the most important thing when sleeping in someone else's place. Breakfast was a croissant and cappuccino at a nearby restaurant - no remarks, everything was perfectly ok.

This is an amazing place to stay in Palermo. The flat is located few mins walk away from the most beautiful and famous attractions of Palermo to one side and some less known but interesting and authentic corners to the other. Despite being in the heart of the city, we found the apartment quiet at night during our stay (I am a light sleeper and bothered by any noise) The apartment itself is very comfortable and tastefully designed, with a lot of local accents so you can appreciate that you are on a Sicilian holiday also inside. The flat was equipped with everything we needed for our stay (good coffee and coffee maker were a nice touch). The highlight was our interactions with the host who was very kind and responded to all questions and requests in minutes. Our baby got sick during the trip and the host directed us to a local hospital, allowed us to stay in the apartment till late afternoon after check out so we could wait there for our flight and arranged a transport to the airport for us. I really recommend it as a base to explore Palermo.

Niente. Everything was perfect! Grazie Michele!!!

Absolutely incredible flat! The place is decorated so thoughtfully, location was perfect, completely exceeded expectations. The world's fastest heating garment steamer was so unexpected. Everything you need!

No microwave. Shower stall very small...large people are seriously challenged. Loud noise...balcony doors open to balcony that's only good for clothes drying (the norm in neighborhoods) which hangs over the cobblestone street with a lot of locals noise from reverberating building walls, noisy scooters and traffic, locals talking loudly plus the street is on the tour guide route adding more congestion. The balcony doors need to be closed to be in the living room comfortably. The bedroom has a separate door which eliminates the noise issue...we slept well and quietly. .The noise issue is the price to be paid if you want an animated, boisterous locals living experience, which is just we wanted. So the apt worked well for us.

Apt is in the middle of locals neighborhood which is both good and bad. Nice owner who allowed early check in and late check out. A large apt, well equipped unique kitchen, Separate bedroom with door which eliminates the noise issue at night. Two large balcony doors for lots of light. Strong WIFI and convenient central location, 15 min walk from train/bus terminal.

hard to open the window in the sleeping room.

It was great. Helpful reception (thank you Michael!). The apartment is located in the best part of the city, between all major tourist places, just by the Ballaro. Definitely a place to return.

- Very spacious and nicely decorated apartment, - Close to the main street in a city center. - Host was very helpfull - you have direct connection during your stay via whattsapp

The neighborhood can appear a bit seedy during the day if you turn left but if you go right it's right in the middle of the action.

The apartment is located in a central location right next the main walking street. The style of the apartment was tasteful and it was very clean.

Noise from the street found it's way into the sleeping room. So maybe bring earplugs.

Breakfast (included: 1 Croissant, 1 Coffee) served in a Cafe 100m away. Located very close to main attractions and the railway station (Palermo Central) is only a walk away. The apartment was large, clean, modern and comfy after a long day out, only the shower showed signs of usage. The AC worked well. In the apartment you'll find plates, cups, coffee and other cooking stuff to prepare your meal. You can contact the owner on short notice (WhatsApp) if you need assistance or if questions arise which I found to be really useful.

The apartment met our expectations. It's a great place to explore Palermo. Located in a quiet part of the city but very close to all attractions. We had no problem contacting the owner. He gave us the keys right away, we didn't have to wait for anything. The apartment has all amenities and great comfortable beds. From the balcony a charming view of the street where real life is teeming. The apartment is clean, the kitchen has all the necessary things. We highly recommend this place, you can park your car on the streets around the apartment by purchasing the ZTL card that the owner of the apartment told us about. We bought it ourselves but the owner offered to do it for us and help us. Thank you very much for such a nice reception. We recommend the apartment wholeheartedly.
