Guest Reviews

• Rick (6/5): Oké - Het appartement is ruim en heeft genoeg faciliteiten en zou erg goed zijn als de gebreken niet erg vervelend waren. Op het balkon en in de helft van de woonkamer hoor je constant een geluid dat door de muren heen trilt, waarschijnlijk van airco oid. Het is erg storend en zorgt er voor dat je niet buiten kunt zitten of rustig op de bank binnen. De eigenaar van het appartement heeft geen verantwoordelijkheid genomen en is ook niet komen kijken. Ze verklaren zelf niet de eigenaar te zijn dus ook niet verantwoordelijk. Wat vreemd is want ze zijn de enige partij waarmee je contact hebt over het appartement.
• Dragana (10/5): - Sve je bilo super velika terasa blizu Teatra domaćin ljubazan i uvek dostupan. Zgrada nema lift ima dosta stepenika do apartmana.
• Anastasia (7/5): Schöne Wohnung, die Gegend geht so - Toll ausgestattet, schön und modern eingerichtet. Schöne Kunst an den Wänden. Easy Check in und check out. Nette hosts. Schlafzimmer: gemütliche Lichtambiente, Klimaanlage und genug Schrank Raum. Eine Trennwand, die vom Flur abschneidet. Badezimmer: großer Spiegel, modern, tolle Dusche Wohn- und Essbereich: viel Platz und ein kleiner Guide liegt auf dem Tisch. Klimaanlage. Offene Küche mit guter Waschmaschine. Großer Balkon. Hier könnte man mehrere Tage verbringen. Die Wohnung ist recht zentral und man ist schnell an einer der Hauptstraßen, über die man in die Stadtmitte und Altstadt kommt. Es ist nah am Hafen, deshalb haben wir nur wenige Minuten von der Fähre dort hin gebraucht, aber die Straße riecht sehr unangenehm und an jedem Baum sind Hundehäufchen. Macht man die Lüftung im Bad an, kommt genau diese Luft und dieser Duft ins Bad. Ich empfehle die Lüftung im Bad nicht zu nutzen und die Tür vom Bad offen zu lassen, damit es da nicht so riecht. Dann geht es im Bad voll. Wenn man auf dem Balkon ist, hört man den ganzen Tag über ein tiefes Brummen. Im Wohnzimmer hört man es auch noch. Wie ein Motor. Für mich persönlich war es zu doll/laut. Ich konnte kaum auf dem Balkon sein. Meine Begleitung fand es nicht so schlimm. Das kommt von dem Hafen. Auf den Straßen hört man es nicht.
• Sanaâ (3/5): - Le lit n’est pas confortable du tout. Il grinçait à chaque mouvement. Le canapé lit était coincé et on n’arrivait pas à le deplier.
• Siconolfi (10/5): -
• Giuseppe (3/5): If only the place was cleaner - good location and modern furniture and kitchen/bathroom linnen was not cleanest. Same can be said about the apartment overall. balcony shown in images was not what was actually found in the apartment
• Mirjana (5/5): This apartment could be much more clean and comfortable. - Location is very good. Cleanliness is very poor, like they didnt clean the apartment good. There is ni washing machine im the kitchen and all dishes was dirty when we take it. On the pictures there is a balcony, but this apartment doesnt have it. Bedroom is in some corridor with no direct light. Sofa is very unconfortable. This apartmens is not for longer stay(we stayed 7 nights). Also, onve we found some cockroach in the bathroom. In front of the building is some court and traffic is too loud from 6 am every morning.
• Andi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natalia (7/5): Good - Good location, very helpful owners, good standard of the apartment. Highly recommend :) High stairs (unsuitable for the elderly) and a complicated door opening system.
• Anya (10/5): 100% recommend - The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, even helped arrange transport to and from the airport. The apartment was spotless and had great air conditioning which helped with the 30 degree heat! Owners were always only a message or call away if we needed them. Only a 20 minute walk from town centre, so was close enough without being too close as the centre can be noisy at night. Couldn't recommend enough, excellent value for money. Honestly nothing
• Daigo (9/5): Superb -
• Ana (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, cozy and baby friendly. The flat is located very convenient, close to the city centre. We enjoyed our stay, the owners were really helpful, keen to help all the time.
• Mark (10/5): Overall outstanding place to stay. - Great location close to the main shopping street (5 mins walk). Also lots of really good restaurants within 10 mins walk. We joined a city tour on our first full day which meets outside the Opera House which is about 20 mins walk away and this provided lots of local information including places to visit and eat & drink. Also walked to and from Santuario di Santa Rosalia from the property (approx 12 km round trip) and would definitely recommend this. We did have a slight problem gaining access initially, as neither of us were able to connect to out networks and you need to do this to get through the first door. It would be much easier if there was a key box with a code.
• Tracey (8/5): Great apartment. - Great apartment with a very comfy bed! We only stayed 2 nights so didn’t use any of the appliances, but it seemed well stocked. There was a large bottle of water in the fridge for us as the tap water was marked as non-drinking water. The apartment was just around the corner from a great coffee bar/gelateria, and was close to the port. It was in a quiet location and we didn’t get any noise from other residents. The owner was able to organise our airport transfer, which was great and made it so much easier to get from the airport.
• Christine (10/5): Beautiful apartment in centre of city - Beautiful interior. Very clean & comfortable. Had everything we needed. Could hear adjoining apartment - thin walls
• Paweł (10/5): Palermo is fantastic and SarAle Apartment is a very good starting point. - The apartment is very clean, with modern furniture and facilities, located in a quiet and safe district, not far from the historical center, close to bus stops (101, 102, 104). I don't use a smartphone, so I couldn't read messages on WhatsApp. Maybe hosts should use alternative ways of communication in such circumstances?
• Hilary (10/5): Lovely, large airy, tastefully decorated apartment with attentive host, definitely recommend. - The apartment was large and airy with a big terrace balcony. Everything was new and high quality - lovely soft towels, nice linen, crockery, glasses all really nice. If you walk left out of the apartment within 5 minutes you reach Via del Liberta with high end shops such as Gucci, Hugo Boss, a massive supermarket Familia (under a clothing store), and restaurants. Walk along this lovely street and within 15 minutes you are in the old city. So you have the advantage of a quiet local neighbourhood and proximity to the busy town centre. The host was very attentive and helpful. Note to others unused to this system - the first number you are given in the pdf on Whatsapp is a one-time code to release the front door lock - so only call this number when you are in front of the door and it will open. Then up two flights of stairs there is a lock box and the code for this is also in the pdf - so a two stage system to get the keys. When we got the keys the first set did not work! But the host came within 5 minutes and replaced the faulty key set. We were a little worried that there might be noise from the other apartment opposite but it was fine and very quiet. We were very happy to walk into the centre but others may not - definitely walking up to Via Del Liberta makes it a very pleasant walk. The balcony overlooks the back of other apartments across a back alley, so mainly aircon units but this had the advantage that the apartment was quiet at the back and the balcony was really nice to sit out on and there was plenty of space for washing and drying clothes.
• Alexandr (8/5): Very good - Good location, all tourist attraction are available in 20-30 mins, the apartment was great, it was clean, full of facilities and with a lot of space. Bed location - it is in front of AC and sometimes at night it's very cold (but without AC it's impossible to sleep)
• Dan (6/5): This could be a great spot, with a bit more attention to details, general ease of use, and, of course, roaches. - Generally clean (at least on the surface), modern amenities, essentials covered. The host is reasonably flexible, responsive and helpful, however only via messages. Did not respond to a call. Hygene: Beware of COCKROACHES! 3 spotted in the kitchen during a 3-night stay — one crushed on the wall above the countertop, hence the small stain. The area is indeed filthy and to be fair, this aspect could have been much worse, had the apartment not been maintained clean, which it is. They are probably coming from neighbors/the street, but still, more measures should be taken. Moreover, the A/C filters should be cleaned more often, as seen in the picture. That is definitely not healthy to breathe. Access: The access method is indeed quite convoluted and depends on GSM connection. If the phone number for opening the front door works, then it’s simple. If your network is unaccessible or you’re out of signal for some reason, you’re out of luck for getting back inside. The instructions weren’t thoroughly clear about all procedures (especially how to turn on the A/Cs — it took us over 20 minutes to figure it out and could not call to ask, as we arrived after midnight), the door is anything but straightforward to open/lock, and most importantly, upon checking-out, you are being asked to place the money for the city tax in the small key cassette in front of the entrance, which barely closes only with the key inside, and that only in a very specific position. All these inconveniences take time to sort out and could be delaying your trip with unnecessary steps to plan, so be prepared. And they could be avoided (on the host’s side) with little effort. Location: Also, the “central” description is indeed fairly misleading. It’s a 20-25 minute walk from the city center. Not a bad thing necessarily, but should be advertised as such.
• Gigi (10/5): Exceptional - Çlean , Not noisy and near to centro, Recomended
• Anonymous (4/5): Good from far, far from good - the property appears newly renovated, clean and tidy with good appliances. very handy having a washing machine and detergent when traveling. Host was easily contactable, which we really appreciated. Could use more detail within the property instructions manual - On arrival the locks were difficult to open (all three doors) and this would be simply fixed with more detail in the arrival manual. The call system to open the first door did not work on multiple occasions requiring 10 calls on one occasion. We stayed 4 nights, each night we were woken by the apartment opposite attempting to get into their apartment, the walls are so thin it sounds like they are trying to get into our own apartment, the whole block is very loud. the last night we were woken at 12AM, 3AM and 4AM, this had the most impact on our stay.
• Patricia (8/5): nice flat, no view from balcony and no sunshine there either - the flat was clean and tidy. rather further outside the city center than we expected. the area where the flat is is pretty run down and many people would be quite concerned by the mess in the streets,dog poo etc. we were disturbed 3 different nights by people arriving at the flat opposite, ringing bells and making lots of noise. The letting agent rang us after 11pm unable to explain why and apparently the people couldn't get into their flat - no contact to explain or apologise
• Alin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hemant (10/5): Wonderful apartment for a family of 4. Some - Really clean, very well equipped, the IKEA sofa bed was great as the extra sleeping bed and also relaxing with the family. There was also some excellent restaurants nearby and a supermarket 2 mins away. The bakery next door was a bonus as well. Overall the location was quite good away from the hustle and bustle of old town but be prepared for some walking when visiting that part of Palermo and the Norman Castle and Cathedral. The apartment was perfect. The Italian bin collection was complicated and the taxis ripping off tourists not so great but again nothing to do with the apartment.
