Alberto's place is an absolute bargain. The apartment is clean, spacious and quiet, and ideally situated for getting to all parts of Palermo. My room was large, with an extremely comfortable bed, and with access to a balcony. Best of all is Alberto...a great guy and the consumate host! He cares about all his guests, and wants you to really enjoy his city, providing much valuable iformation on arrival about what to see and do in Palermo, as well as great places to eat. When I was sick on the final day of my stay, (avoid the pane con porchetta from street vendors:), Alberto looked after me, doing my washing and leaving it on a rack outside my room, as well as providing me with an extra pillow. HIGHLY recommended! Grazie mille Alberto...i will definitely return!
