Mondello beach house with terrace 2 steps from the sea

Pozione, terrazza, appartamento

Maniglia porta che si stacca

Классные и просторные апартаменты! Отличная терраса!

Cazare aproape de plajă. Aer condiționat în fiecare dormitor. Terasă pe acoperiș.

Aș recomanda să fie mai mult detergent de vase lăsat în bucătărie, un prosop de bucătărie, mop de spălat pe jos, sare de gătit și hârtie igienică la baie, nu una pentru 5 zile. De asemenea câinele vecinilor e cam deranjant.

Pros -​The electronic keypad check-in was excellent and highly convenient, especially for a late arrival. It was great not having to coordinate meeting anyone or worry about carrying physical keys. -​The host connected me with an excellent airport transfer service for €45 via WhatsApp, which was much cheaper than other options. -​The apartment is huge, very clean, has great Wi-Fi for working, and is just a 5-minute walk to the beach. -​The bed was a perfectly fine spring mattress that was not worn out and had plenty of pillows. -​The AC worked wonderfully in the bedroom. -​There is a nice balcony right off the bedroom and a gorgeous, completely private rooftop terrace. -​Provided two full sets of towels and two bottles of water in the fridge, which was great for a short stay.

Cons -​While the electronic keypad is great, the lack of an in-person walkthrough or a welcome guide meant any questions had to be handled via message, where you don't get an immediate response. Furthermore, because checkout is also not in person, I had to pay the local tourist tax in cash. Since I didn’t have the exact change, I had to go out of my way to find a place to get change just to leave the correct amount, which would have been easily handled if someone were there in person. -​On top of the tax issue, checking out without a host or instructions made it incredibly difficult to actually leave the property. There was no clear way to open the main gate from the inside. When I messaged the host for help, he just sent me the check-in video—which shows how to use the keypad from the outside, but you can't see or access that keypad from the inside. I was essentially locked in until my taxi driver fortunately managed to operate it from the outside to let me out. -​Because there was no guide, I also got stuck inside trying to figure out how to open the front door on my first night. This resulted in me using Google Lens to identify the mechanism and searching YouTube to figure it out. It might be common in Italy, but I've never seen it. -​A welcome book would be handy for showing you how to work the amenities and providing local restaurant recommendations, which are always preferred over Google. For instance, the living room AC wasn't turning on with the remote. When I messaged the host to ask if it worked, he just replied "yes" without any troubleshooting tips. On the morning I left, I discovered there was a switch near the floor that had been turned off. It would have been nice if he had helped me troubleshoot that so I could use the living room comfortably, rather than having to just stay in the bedroom to keep cool.
