Turati Apartment al Politeama by Wonderful Italy

The apartment was unsanitary (hair, dirt, stained linens, mold), with yellow water that made the bathroom unusable for two days. There was a broken window that was never fixed, a blocked sink, and even a cockroach. Despite repeated complaints, the host ignored us and Booking was unable to get them to act. The cleaning eventually sent was limited to the floors only, leaving core issues unresolved.

Great location in the centre of Palermo. Walking distance to all mayor attraction.

No one can have a good sleep there. Even if u close all the windows u can hear all noise from outside. Its even worse if you stay there during busy weekend. Am sure u can have a better sleep if you stay on a bench in the park outside. Am glad we did not stay they longer. Another wierd thing is a trash. So there is no bin for a trash in whole apparment, not even a plastic or paper bag where u can store it. But I have been twiced asked by message on Whatsapp from guy who gave us key to remove all the trash from appartment. When I ask him to provide plastic bags he just igored my message. Plus 100 EUR cleaning fee was included in a payment for our stay. Crazy..) This appartment was out worst experience in whole trip in Sicily.

El apartamento es muy moderno, muy amplio, está recién reformado y se encuentra en un lugar excelente para visitar la ciudad andando. El aire acondicionado funciona muy bien y la cama es muy cómoda. Tiene unas vistas preciosas y todo tipo de comercio en los alrededores. Los anfitriones fueron muy amables y enviaron a una persona atenta a recibirnos aunque era muy tarde (se pagó como un extra).

El apartamento no tiene WIFI, lo cual es realmente incómodo. Tampoco tiene TV. La zona es ruidosa y se escucha el ruido de la calle, aunque se puede dormir. La cocina no está bien equipada. Le falta tener microondas, tostador, tijeras. Avisamos a los dueños de que el fregador pierde algo de agua.

We really liked the reconstructiom of the apartment, it was clean. Bus stop, also airport shuffle is nearby, under the balcony. The location is great, close to the city, close to the shops. Still, its on the busy road so its up on considering whether it is worthy for you.

There were some issues with appliances. When we came, there was a water in the kitchen under the cabin. The staff who was giving us the keys, didnt know about the issue. There were a problem of introducing us how the waschine machine is working. In the evening we realized, that the water heater drops water on the floor. I contacted the support, they said that it is ok, neverthless the water heater is working. It was unpleasant to sleep with a sound of dropping water to the kitchen pan… also, by our mistake we didnt realise, that there is no tv, and no wifi in the apartment.

The location is amazing, just next to the Teatro Politeama which you can look at from the dining/living area. It is just between old and new towns, and very safe, although extremely noisy on Friday and Saturday nights (until c. 1am). The rooms are all very spacious and nicely decorated, and everything in brand new.

There could have been internet. The kitchen was nicely appointed in some ways (lots of pots and pans and dishes) and under appointed in others - no paper towels, one dishtowel, no bottle opener. For a place with a working kitchen, it wouldn't be too difficult to have these things, and even salt and pepper and sugar (ideally).
