Maria's place in Palermo was good and very well located with shops and restaurants nearby. lots of space and very appropriate for a large group such as ours, including terraces which we did not use during these winter days. We were cold the first night but Maria indicated where we could find extra blankets to avoid turning heaters everywhere.
Just one piece of advice: let guests know that there are steep steps to access place and stairs again to rooms and bathroom upstairs. We didn't have a problem fortunately but the aged or handicapped would certainly find it difficult.
