Guest Reviews

• Gregory (8/5): - Location is great.
• Franziska (10/5): Das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis war wirklich total super! - Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral. Das Personal war sehr sehr freundlich. Die Ausstattung war absolut aussteigend und es war sehr sauber. Das Bett ist etwas zu hart gewesen für unseren Geschmack. Wobei das auch eine sehr subjektive Einschätzung ist. Alles in allem war es trotzdem ein sehr gelungener Aufenthalt.
• Kuchnia (8/5): - Łatwość komunikacji, wszędzie było blisko. Na zwiedzanie starego miasta i śniadania na targu Ballarò 3 min obok. Apartament bardzo czysty, nowa łazienka (szczegół:bardzo wrażliwa regulacja prysznica:) ale woda była ciepła dla wszystkich jak się z tym uporaliśmy) Klimatyzacja tylko w 1 pomieszczeniu, sypialni. W salonie z kuchnią zimno. W łazience także bez. Kanapa w salonie nie nadaje się do komfortowego spania, więc mieszkanie jest dla 2 osób. W wyszukiwarce booking wpisałam 2 plus dziecko, na miejscu się okazało, że booking jest dla 2 osób. Dopłacilismy, myślę jednak, że za cenę finalną znalazłabym dla naszej 3 bardziej odpowiednie lokum. Myślę, że tak poprostu wyglądają apartamenty zimą na południu Europy, jednak dla mnie siedzenie w swetrze i spanie pod wszystkim, czym można było się przykryć nie pozwalało po całym dniu zwiedzania się zrelaksować, napić wina i pogadać. Myślę, że w sezonie letnim, przy otwartych okiennicach klimat jest fajniejszy. Żadko pisze opinie, bo z racji zawodu wiem, jak ciężko jest wszystkich zadowolić ale tym razem trochę żałuję, że nie poświęciłam więcej czasu na szukanie i dowiedzenie się więcej o lokalizacji, więc moja wina:) Żeczywiscie same centrum, koniec słynnego deptaku z knajpami, sklepami, jednak koniec tej ulicy, miejscowy vibe, ale nie ten z filmów z gwarem ludzi w knajpach.. . Dużo sklepików tureckich, miejscowi na hulajnogach, głośno rozmawiajacy, w oknach od wewnątrz te metalowe zabezpieczenia przed włamaniami, niby już nie potrzebne, ale jednak zostawiające uczucie niepokoju. Jak bym miała 25 lat i podróżowała z chłopakiem i siedziała do nocy w knajpach lokalizacja ok. W sytuacji wakacji z dzieckiem drugi raz wybrałbym lokalizację w spokojniejszej części Palermo, nawet kosztem dłuższego spaceru na starówkę.
• OLLIVIER (7/5): -
• Nejra (8/5): -
• Kirsten (8/5): - Lovely clean and spacious apartment. Comfortable bed. Air conditioning great. Francesco ,the host, was really helpful and enthusiastic. The property is a short walk from the main shops and bars of the old town. The family down the alley behind the apartment made a noise quite a lot of the time but not a huge issue.
• Režná (7/5): -
• Matuszewska (9/5): -
• Ekaterina (9/5): Отличная квартира рядом с вокзалом - Отличное расположение. Наличие всех необходимых приборов для приготовления пищи. Масло, соль, перец, кофе - были в доступе. Удобная кровать. Наличие стиральной машины.
• Mayra Alejandra (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at A Ballarò Apartments. The room was clean and had everything we needed. It is very well located, as you can walk to the historic center and the central station. Francesco was very attentive and friendly. We recommend this place!
• Elisa (9/5): Perfekte Unterkunft für Städtetrip in Palermo - Sehr sauber, schöner Balkon, zentrale Lage, gute Ausstattung, sehr netter Kontakt mit Gastgeber Francesco :) Das Bett quietscht und ist schon etwas durchgelegen, sonst war aber alles perfekt!
• Simona (9/5): - The accommodation was very nice and clean. You are right in the centre and you can reach many things. I can only recommend the apartment. The hosts are also great as you can communicate with them via Whatsapp. Noisy neighbours but that's not the hosts' fault.
• Taisiia (10/5): Parking can be difficult in this neighborhood. - Two-room apartment with a small walk-through living room that includes a kitchen and a sofa, a spacious bedroom, a large clean bathroom with a washing machine. Excellent communication with the host. Clean bed linen and towels. The balcony with a table overlooks the courtyard. Location: on the main pedestrian street, but slightly away from the noisy part. Just a few minutes’ walk from a large local market. No complaints at all — it’s an old, atmospheric neighborhood and incredibly authentic. The host helped us wholeheartedly, and we were absolutely delighted with the hospitality.
• Robert (10/5): Dobry apartament w centrum starego miasta w Palermo - Duży, przestronny i czysty apartament. Dobrze wyposażona kuchnia. Miły i pomocny gospodarz. Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Czuliśmy się tam bardzo bezpiecznie. Wszystko OK
• Luken (10/5): - La ubicación del sitio es perfecta y la habitación está muy bien, con un pequeño balconcito en el que da el sol, buen tamaño, con aire acondicionado, una cocina nueva y todo lo que necesitas.
• david (10/5): - Appartement très propre et très confortable. Excellent emplacement pour visiter Palerme. Excellent accueil de francesco. Tout est parfait !
• Meier (10/5): - Lage, Balkon, Küche, Badezimmer, Größe
• Teresa (7/5): A haven of peace in a bustling, vibrant city! - The location is very central and makes for easy access to everything. Apartment was comfortable and we particularly liked the shower. The recommendations made by the owners were gratefully received. The apartment is quite dark inside, so it needs lights on at all times. There is no full-length mirror. The towels could be of a better quality.
• Hein (7/5): A conveniently located apartment in the center of Palermo - The location of the apartment, middle in the pedestrian area of Palermo was excellent. The size of the apartment was very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The smoke of the smoking neighbor was annoying. The smell of the smoke passed through the vents in the bathroom. It was like someone smoking inside he apartment. We were surprised that there were other people in an adjacent apartment without telling us and the walls we so thin we could overhear what they were talking about. The mattress of the bed needs to be replaced, it's simply too soft.
• Stefan (9/5): Great central place to visit Palermo! - Great place to stay in Palermo! The apartment is actually one large unit that has been converted into two (or even three?) separate rental apartments. The location is fantastic - situated right on Via Maqueda in an ultra-central area with plenty of tourist attractions and Palermo Centrale, the main train station, is only a 10-minute walk away. A charming bonus is the lovely little balcony, perfect for enjoying the city’s atmosphere. The only possible downside is that, at night, the surrounding area can sometimes feel a bit rough with some questionable characters around. However, we never experienced any issues and always felt safe during our stay.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cameron (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was great! Location and quality were excellent for the price. Best of all was Francesco who met us to deliver the keys and helped arrange a surprise birthday cake for my partner for our arrival. He was a great host who was extremely responsive to my messages. Couldn’t have asked for better! Nothing wrong with the place :) Everything went perfectly!
• Scott (8/5): Very good -
• Paul (9/5): Superb - Host was zeer behulpzaam en de locatie was perfect Het bed was oncomfortabel.
• Okan (10/5): Exceptional - Good location !! RAS
• Versteegen (9/5): We had a great time, with great accomodation and a very helpfull host - A very large and clean appartment, in the middle of the city. The appartment had a nice touch to it and feels safe. Some trouble with the airconditioning, told the host and solved before we got back. Being in the middle of the city has its pros and cons, such as the surrounding area being noisy at night sometimes. Of course this is hard to solve, but it is something to keep in mind when booking.
• Jasmina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Oleksandra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (8/5): Very happy to have stayed in the heart of Palermo, yes there was street noise but it’s the location that made our stay i - The location suited us, we wanted to be in the heart of Palermo, and close to travel connections for onward travel.The apartment was well equipped and spacious. The bed looks lovely but it has a metal sprung base, we weren’t used to the noises it makes as you move!!
• Agata (8/5): Spotlessly clean, extremely kind hosts, amazing location! - Great communication with the host - very helpful and nice! The apartment was spotlessly clean, well equipped when it comes to kitchen appliances. The location is fantastic. Very easy to get there from the airport or to get around using trains or buses. Definitely recommend it! Pretty noisy at night from the street. Also the bed for the 3rd guest is not very comfortable (just a sofa with mattress on it) and private because it’s in the kitchen-living space. And the big double bed in the bedroom is extremely squeaky - you can hear every single move and it wakes up the whole house. The A/C works great but only in the bedroom so the kitchen-living space can get unbelievably hot.
• Oana (10/5): Raport calitate-pret bun! - Francesco, our host, was very kind, he helped us with information about parking and waited for us until the evening for check-in after a delayed flight. Clean apartment, with excellent facilities and positioning. -
• Jeanne (8/5): Gorgeous appartment in a great location but a bit too noisy. - The property was beautifully finished very aesthetically pleasing and has a lovely little balcony to sit out on with some sun loungers and a little table to sit at. The bathroom was lovely and big with a great waterfall shower. Great location close to the historical centre and train station. Host was very accommodating in allowing us to drop our bags to the property before it was time to check in. The property at night was very noisy from the streets below and we were also often woken up by the noise from others in the building. The appartment has a main door which uses a 3 point lock which can be difficult to open if you do not get the trick to open. Found myself at the door for a few minutes each time trying to open it.
• Myrna (10/5): Very good! - Nice spacious apartment. Very clean and good facilities. It was quite noisy at night.
• Simone (9/5): Superb - Great location
• Magdalena (9/5): Superb -
• Esmee (8/5): Great apartment, central location, fantastically renovated - Great, central location. Fully equipped apartment. Nice and spacious, recently renovated, very modern. Great price/quality. Balcony is too small to be practical. It was very noisy, also at night and very early in the morning (the neighbours seemed to be doing some sort of construction). The towels had a strange moisty smell, that we couldnt solve, not even after washing.
• Marilyn (9/5): We had a lovely stay & everything about the apartment was very good….thank you . - Very central location, lovely rooms, & well equipped.
• Jenny (10/5): Location was fantastic. Place was very clean. Host was great answered all our questions! This was the second time bookin - Location was fantastic. Place was very clean. Host was great answered all our questions! This was the second time booking and we would be happy to book again. Highly recommended it.
• Yuliia (10/5): Highly recommend this place! - Francesco was very very helpful and friendly! The apartment is amazing, in the amazing area with lots of different restaurants, bars and shops. Very easy to get around the historical part of the city. All in all great experience Everything was amazing
• Joanna (8/5): Supeb location for exploring Palermo. - The location of this property is very good - close to the main station (10-minute walk) and on one of the main streets in Old Palermo. Close to lots of restaurants and shops. The apartment was well appointed (had all the items that we needed for a 3-night stay) and was very clean and well presented. The balcony was a good size to sit out on, but as would be expected in a city, can be overlooked by neighbours. The shower was very efficient and overall it was a comfortable stay. The chairs on the balcony were a little hard - we added cushions from the apartment, and that helped. The apartment is accessed through a security door which had a slightly temperamental key - I could not ever get it to open, but luckily my husband could wiggle the key and get it to work. That would have been very frustrating if I had been on my own. And, whilst this is totally out of the control of the owners, one night some neighbours had a long and very loud argument, which sounded as if they were in the next room to us. Could happen anywhere, but it slightly took the shine off what had otherwise been an excellent stay.
• Rita (6/5): style over substance - excellent location, very modern and sleek bed not comfortable, not enough hot water for two people, tv didn’t work (despite advertising ‘Netflix and chill’), didn’t have the facilities pictures (eg no oven), some parts clean but a lot of dust around and on rug /bath mat
• Reinout (9/5): ideal weather in April in a vibrant old city - Very well situated on the central street in Palermo. Quiet. Airconditioned, beautiful bathroom. light from the corridor at night
