It was an absolute pleasure staying at Manuel's flat in Palermo. The place is located in one of the best neighbourhoods of the city, with numerous cafes, shops, parks and access to transport within walking distance. It is located near a main road, but I was pleasantly surprised at how relatively quiet the place was.
The flat itself is exactly what one needs for a short or long-term stay. The kitchen has all the main appliances you may need, the sofa is very confortable and the flat is on an upper floor meaning the sun shines through from behind a couple of trees during the day. There is also a functional shared washing machine and tumble drier in the building.
As for Manuel, he's been an incredible host, answering my questions with little delay, and always there to help the best he could. I am very grateful!
And Sebastian the porter is an absolute gem.
I only have good things to say about Manuel and his place, and I look forward to returning when possible!
