What did I like? Everything. Cleanliness and location being spot on. But what was best, well, the communication with the owner. Exactly what I needed for my first trip abroad, solo, in a long time., As in all my reviews, I ask myself, "Would I go here again?". Absolutely.

My poor language skills!!! Possibly the only "real" thing was a lack of understanding of how to cross the road. So used to pressing a button and waiting for the green man. But really, that's a "me" thing, not a "here" thing. Oh. One thing to be aware of. The plugs used here were the 3 pins vertically aligned. So get the right adapter. But again, not a "here" thing, but an island thing.

The host was excellent. He couldn't have been more helpful. He offered water on arrival and gave details of the best places to eat and visit. The room was lovely, two large sets of French Windows, so plenty of fresh air. Water, kettle, and coffee provided. A lovely lounge area, available to all, in which to relax if you didn't want to remain in your room. I absolutely loved the lift (photo attached)

The external private bathroom was inconvenient but certainly not any problem. Nobody else used it as it was dedicated to the room it was large and kept very clean. The bars nearby could get a bit noisy but, again, inconvenient and not a big problem.

Excellent location. We were met by Alessandro who was very nice and helpful. The room was a good size and comfortable. Although not en-suite, the private bathroom was close to the room and also a good size and the shower was nice. Breakfast at the nearby Caffé Borsa was delicious and the coffee excellent. The staff were very friendly. We didn't use it, but there was a nice and large common room with TV. The B&B is on the third floor and accessed by a lovely antique cage elevator!

There was nothing about our stay we didn't like, but we feel that the accommodation would benefit from a room safe and access to a refrigerator. The downside to the fantastic location is the outside noise at night, so ear plugs (which we had) are highly recommended!

Central location in centro antico, very reasonable walking distance from all the center city attractions, sights, eateries, markets Not on a high floor, but access to a lift for luggage was a plus. Residence in LTZ- Positve is the proximity to everything and a bit less auto traffic

I believe all rooms have private bathrooms, but they are not attached. Our unit's was at the end and not well lit if needed in the wee morninng darkness. This residence is in the LTZ- many positives to that fact, but if you are driving into the area, parking is limited and can be tricky with VERY narrow streets, one must be a confident and competent driver used to southern italian habits. Also need to arrange your LTZ pass which can be challenging. Advise to research and pre arrange both prior to arrival. Private parcheggi are typically of great help with LTZ pass.

Nice interior, location, clean, friendly owner, balcony!

The apartment was in a perfect location in central Palermo. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. We didn’t cook, but it was nice to have a small kitchen with refrigerator for drinks and snacks. The elevator was a welcome site for my knees. An excellent value. The manager was very kind and helpful.

It was a very very nice place, but rather plain compared to our elegant but expensive (3x the price of Cosmo) hotel in Catania. It is not fair to compare on same rating scale, so my 8 rating for Cosmo would be a 10 in the non-luxury price category.

Cosmopolitan B & B couldn’t have been better. It was right in the middle of the historic district on a very pleasant piazza. Big room with lots of light, well cared for as is the whole place by hospitable Manfredi and Sarah his charming partner. Both were great to talk with and mentioned things that greatly enhanced my visit. Ideal central location with good places to eat and to see nearby. Based on my interests, Manfredi recommended the nearby Palazzo Butera, not on most tourist checklists, a highlight of what I saw in Palermo-- dramatic integrations of a remodel of an elegant old seaside palace and thought provoking art, with expansive views of the city. Palermo and the Cosmopolitan highly recommended!

Perfect location (close to Quatro Canti, Vucceria), nice room, friendly and helpful owner.

Perfect location for visiting Palermo - easy walk to all the sights. Manfredi was one of the warmest hosts we have met in our travels - always available by phone - and speaks excellent English! Our room was spotless, spacious and bright with a balcony overlooking the piazza - some days we were torn between going out and seeing the sights or just staying in the room to soak up the relaxed ambience. Great breakfast in bistro downstairs - on Sunday morning host provided breakfast in the living area with a wide variety of choices. The value for the money is unbelievable - he could charge twice as much and we would still return. : )

The location of the accomodation is perfect. Shops and tourist attractions are very close, so you can walk everywhere. The rooms are clean and cozy with a nice view over the city. 😊 The host was one of the kindest I have met - very hospitable and helpful. As someone who was in Sicily for the first time, that immediately made me feel safe. Will definitely be coming back!
