We were really looking forward to our stay in Palermo, but things took a turn for the worse about 10 minutes before we were supposed to check in. We received a message saying the apartment wouldnât be ready until 5:30 PM. You know, because nothing says ârelaxing vacationâ like being stranded with luggage and nowhere to go!
After spending a solid hour negotiating with customer service for some sort of compensation (which was like trying to convince my cat to do my taxes), we finally got access to the place. The grand reveal? Well, letâs just say we werenât exactly met with five-star luxury. More like a five-year-oldâs cleaning attempt. The place was filthy! Dust bunnies bigger than my luggage and the bathroom? Oh, it came with a bonus feature â a leaking toilet that generously shared its contents with the floor.
So, if youâre in Palermo and looking for a place to practice your swimming skills in bathroom water, this apartmentâs for you! As for us, next time weâre checking into reality TV â it might be less dramatic.
Stars: â (Giving it one star because at least the roof didnât leak⊠yet.)
