Hi everyone, What are the things you just won’t compromise on when booking a place to stay? Good WiFi? A comfy bed? Central location? A decent price? Maybe a quiet spot where you can actually sleep?

I never stay in Palermo, if I’m traveling all this way, I don’t want to be surrounded by tourists. Also, Airbnb hosts who take cash in dollars? Always a plus!
 
For me, the most important thing is being in an urban or central area, where everything is close by. If I'm on vacation, the speed of the internet really doesn't matter that much, I’ll be out exploring most of the time, not staying inside. I’m not looking for luxury, just a decent place to sleep. I have a local friend who I’ve traveled with to different provinces, and I’ve noticed that Argentinians have a different approach when it comes to the places they rent. They mainly look for a decent place to sleep and never spend exorbitant amounts on luxury or anything like that. They’re very adventurous and spend most of their trips out doing things, which I really like. After all, that’s what traveling for fun or vacation is all about! Now, if I were looking for a place to settle for a few months, I’d definitely care about the location, and good internet would be key.
 
I'm looking for a central area, but not as touristy as Palermo. I don’t care much about luxury, but a strong internet connection is a must for work. A nice local vibe and good cafés nearby would be a plus too!
