Everything about our stay was unpleasant. First of all, we were told to meet our hostess on a street corner, so we parked the car, unloaded our bags, and waited. When she showed up late, she told us to repack the car and follow her to the actual apartment. So, off we went driving through the streets of Palermo. When we finally arrived, I was disappointed with the one-room we were given. No windows, except for in the bathroom (and that opened up to nothing), although there was a door to a patio that we could use. Unfortunately, the handle was broken and we couldn't open it. The shower head was broken as well and the floors were also wet as they had obviously just finished cleaning it before we got there (probably why she was late). To their credit, someone did come the next day to fix these things.
We were told we had to pay cash for the room, even though on their website it said they accept credit cards and I had guaranteed the reservation with my Mastercard. We then had to trek through the city on foot to find a bank machine so I could withdraw the money needed to pay for the room. That night, it was difficult to sleep because we could clearly hear the television of the neighbors next door (and their screaming kids), and somewhere in the building was a dog that would NOT stop barking.
After two days in the room, our bags and the clothes in them were musty and damp, as were the sheets on the bed. I was so glad to get out. The topper, however, was that friends of ours were also staying in the city and they found a fantastic full-sized apartment (living room, kitchen, separate bedrooms) for 25 euro a night less than what we were paying!
Really not a place I would recommend. The only saving grace was that we spent so much time sightseeing in and around Palermo that we hardly spent any time in the room.
