We had a fantastic stay at Maria's place in Palermo Soho. She was a gracious host, very willing to accommodation and easy to get in touch with, and her house is impeccably tasteful.
Her flat is just a few blocks away from all of the action of Palermo Soho, and conveniently located to the subway (10-15 min walk), and many buses pass by her place, or just 1 block away.
The terrace was beautiful, and it was very convenient to have a place to dry our clothes quickly in the sweltering BA summer heat.
