I can't recommend Fernando enough. The apartment is very well located close to transportation and the trendy shops and bars in Palermo. He knows the city very well and gave me valuable information about useful webpages, places to visit, which areas to avoid, how to get the free City Bikes etc. He also gave me a card to use for transportation (buses and Subway) and an prepaid SIM card to use to phone/sms (of course I had to fill those myself). After one week I decided to stay another week and he become more than just a landlord, I consider him as a friend.
