We had a good stay at
Martin's apartment, that is perfectly located in
Palermo and has all the basics you need. The place is a little less dashing than on the pictures, but still fine. We haven't met Martin, but his mother Cristina was very friendly and we could pick up the keys at her house. The only thing missing was a mattress cover that goes under the fitted sheet. One thing to remember though, is not to leave your keys behind when leaving the apartment, you need them to get out of the front door downstairs. We didn't know, and found out at 4 am before catching a plane....A neighbor was however kind enough to let us out of the building.
