Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

What an amazing location... just a short walk to churches, markets and the cathedral as well as the eating area on the next block.
Check in and out was very easy with photos of each step of the process to access the building and the key safe, as well as rapid responses from Franki & Maria. When we asked for a 2nd set of keys for the 4 adults, these were dropped off very quickly. There's just 10 steps up from the ground floor to the front door.
The living space of the apartment felt small so we didn't spend much time there as there was plenty to do in Palermo anyway. There was bathroom but also a 2nd toilet separate. The bedding description had changed since we booked so it is now more accurate as we had expected 4 double beds but found 2 doubles, a sofa bed and 2 singles.

Communication was excellent. Maria and Franco would assist with anything we needed quickly. The best thing about the apartment is the location. It’s in the heart of Palermo and we were able to walk everywhere. The 3 bedrooms are an adequate size. The living/kitchen/dining area is very small. There is air conditioning in all the bedrooms. The only issue we had was that if the air conditioner was on, you were unable to use the hair dryer or the washing machine. The lights would go out and we learned how to flip the switch in the outside hallway. The apartment is on the older side but provided everything you would need. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to explore Palermo but not planning to spend much time in the apartment.

Great location in the middle of old historical city. Exceptional property with an extra touch of care from home and housekeeping staff. Our host arranged for timely transportation to and from airport that insure a stress free arrival and departure. Too many places to see and places to eat….

Franco was extremely helpful. He not only made sure someone was available to get us right in, but he arranged for parking for our rental car as well. We could not have asked for a better location. It is right off the Main Street with plenty of restaurants and stores easily in walking distance. It was extremely easy to get to the sights without long walks or taking taxis. There was such an amazing vibe right outside your front door. The main living area felt a little cramped and looked bigger in the pictures, but the bedrooms were enormous with very comfortable beds. As long as you don’t mind a little street noise outside your windows (very little) and you enjoy night life this is the place for you. I highly recommend this property.

Super comfortable apartment, with all the amenities, in a safe building. We didn't use the kitchen facilities a we found the local eating places very reasonably priced as compared to other countries we visited in Italy. The apartment is steps to the four fountains, in the heart of Palermo, many many restaurants and bars to choose from, and don't miss the local markets for some great food at reasonable prices, they really come alive at night. Enjoy this wonderful city from this beautiful apartment and fantastic location!
