Magdalena is an exceptional host, and her apartment is equally exceptional. The apartment is an oasis in Palermo and perfectly situated—close to many excellent restaurants, parks, and public transportation outlets. It’s spotlessly clean, well equipped, excellent air conditioning (during an unprecedented heatwave), very quiet (even in a city with plenty of noise), and beautiful. Magdalena went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable: she met us for check-in and check-out, her recommendations were spot on, and she personally showed me around the neighborhood. I hope to be back soon!
