The host was wonderful, waiting for us at the apartment with keys in hand and answering all of our questions. She even followed up later that day with some recommendations of places to visit and restaurants in the area to try.

The apartment was spotless, clearly well maintained/new, nice interior design just as advertised. While on a busy street, the apartment was facing the back so there was no noise at all. It was in a great location - 5 minute walk to the subway and buses, 10-15 minutes to the center of Palermo. We had no issues whatsoever and appreciate the hospitality and responsiveness of the host!
