Maria is really a wonderful and generous host. I had a pleasant stay at her house in Palermo soho. She made it a point to make sure my stay was comfortable. The house is located in a very nice and trendy neighborhood of Palermo. There are tons of cafes, restaurants and bars within few blocks. She also was very helpful in arranging taxis for the airport. I had a chance to meet her wonderful daughter who was nice enough to make me tea and a sandwich. I highly recommend Maria's place
