Cathedral View Apartments

Expecting to find some amenities in the washroom

You could not ask for a better location! Such a beautiful view of the stunning Palermo Cathedral. It's a large apartment with a sitting and dining areas, kitchen and two bedrooms and bathrooms.

No lift available except on check in.

Fantastic location. You can sit on the balcony and get a perfect view of the cathedral and people watch. Great central location for all the major tourist spots. Bedrooms are situated away from the front of the building so quiet at night. Large comfy beds.

Shower could do with some attention. Only area that didn't look clean or needed new tile. And actual shower although hot, it was difficult to swap between overhead shower and flexible hose.

Recommend this particular home? Two ways to approach this rental… If you’re looking for a Palermo old feeling charm… you have this option to consider.. Unfortunately we booked based on booking.com ad. The property seemed to have good reviews and from past experience renting a home in the building next door. We felt safe and comfortable with our choice.. Now and after the fact We have come to the realization that this was not a good choice for us.. The street entrance from the street was about the same as other surrounding buildings with exception .. We had no idea there was not an elevator for guest.. so for days we walked up 75 steps 5-10 day.. that was a workout. The stairway and building exterior maintenance was depressing ( see photos) (Front exterior façade-looks great) The home even though it was old we expected a more clean and welcome feeling upon arrival.. the Host manager was there upon our arrival and escorted us to our floor. Very nice and helpful After a long days walk to return to a shower assembly that could not mount or keep water from spraying all over the floors - this allowed us to be clean up committee after every shower.. then continuously backed up and slow drained until empty… After a relaxing day .. we were looking forward to A nice bed to watch television… (then we realized there were no televisions) Air conditioning units we felt should be modified to accommodate square feet. Almost impossible to secure the outside doors / windows..there are other areas of contention that just do not meet the value and the home.. important for me to speak out in hopes all these issues can be addressed for future leases. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to give you something to think about .. in case you have certain expectations of this rent Please review photos
