We had a lovely three nights at Valeria's flat in Palermo. Valeria was such a friendly and welcoming host and she did everything she could to make our stay a pleasant one (flexible check in and check out time, advice on how to get around and where to buy food - she even left us a metro card to use on local transport!) The apartment is spacious and warm (the underfloor heating was great for when BA gets cold in winter!) Palermo is on your doorstep but only the dogs can be heard at night (no busy roads or clubs). We'd love to come again some time.
