Maria is a brilliant host who was in contact with us throughout our stay and booked us taxis to and from the airport. Upon arrival, we met her husband who was very welcoming. The apartment itself is airy, thoughtfully decorated to make it feel cosy and has a small balcony to enjoy the sunshine in the afternoon. The king size bed is extremely comfortable, the air con is strong and the shower is powerful. The flat is also close to all of the restaurants, bars and shops in Palermo but is not noisy. We had a perfect stay at Maria's apartment and I would not hesitate in recommending it to others.
