  : This is a slightly odd set up. On Booking.com it appeared to be a small hotel and it wasnt until after Id booked and paid and received more details that it became apparent that this is a sort of hybrid Airbnb. Its basically a flat and each guest gets their own locking room but you share the lounge and kitchen/diner. Theres a very nice terrace to sit out upstairs. You are greeted by warm and friendly staff and they serve breakfast each day and - most unexpected - daily chambermaid service. The trouble for me was that I really hate the model of where you have to sit at the same table to eat with people youve never met. Some may love this, but I do not and it made me edgy and uncomfortable. And speaking of uncomfortable, I cant quite put my finger on why, but the bed was very uncomfortable and neither my husband nor I slept well while we were here. The really big issue for me was that our bedroom had only a roof light and no windows. I found this really claustrophobic. I think other rooms in the apartment had a more normal window set up. However the flat is very centrally located to easy to get around Palermo. The flat is nicely decorated and the huge living room was very comfortable (which unfortunately only served to contrast more with our small cupboard like bedroom). It is certainly good value for money and if you dont mind the all jolly travellers together vibe it may well be right up your street.
  : See above - the uncomfortable mattress and having to share the breakfast table with strangers; also the cupboard bedroom with no windows.
