Loft Cattedrale Palermo

The apartment has an excellent location, a few hundred meters away from the cathedral of Palermo, in a pedestrian zone. The interior has been renovated, but not its old fashioned entrance door and the single pane glass window above the door! The side street, where it is located is generally quiet but at night, every once in a while, a motorcycle is passing by at high speed. The apartment is clean and well equipped, including a washing machine! The owner responded fast in Italian to our messages!

We did not feel safe, because the loft has an old entrance door with direct access to the street! The door has a flimsy lock, which the key locks with two tongues from outside but the key activates only one tongue from inside! The owner has recognised this problem and installed a sliding latch at the side of the door looking towards the interior of the apartment but it is also very flimsy and it does not improve the security of the apartment at all! Therefore, the only solution for a secure apartment is to install a modern security door! The loft, where the bedroom is, has a single window over the entrance door. This window is an old fashioned single pane glass window. As the street in front of the apartment is very narrow, about 3 meters wide!, every motorcycle and every group of people passing by at night wakes you up! Therefore, I had to use earplugs to sleep at night! So the window must also be replaced with a double pane insulated window! If the owner decides to invest some money to improve the safety and peace of his guests he will have a top Airbnb!

Absolutely amazing stay! The room was spotless, stylish, and super comfortable. The location was perfect—quiet yet close to everything. The price-quality ratio was unbeatable. The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and trustworthy, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I felt completely at home. Every detail was thought through with care. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!
