Fabricio was very communicative and helpful in getting to the flat. He made me feel welcome even before I got there by asking about my itinerary and making it clear that he could be flexible when and how I got the keys. My local friends ended up picking up the keys for me, and they got to the flat first and got the heater going so the room would warm up. The only issue I had with my stay was that the room was a bit cold. Perhaps a floor heater would resolve that.

The location was perfect, being in Palermo SOHO; and also being next door to the best ice cream in town AND a gym!!

The flat itself looked just like the photos. It's an efficiency studio: clean, compact, modern, but still roomy. He left two sets of new/ nearly new white bath towel set. The kitchenette was clean and compact, but I didn't use it much, as the multitude restaurants were so close, good and affordable There was plenty of closet and drawer space for my clothes.

It was the perfect little home for a week.
