Mauro is charming, helpful, informative and clearly enjoys being a host. The accommodation is in the heart of the historical section of the city right across from tourist information, above a yummy snack shop (the owner there is really funny and helpful despite his lack of English), across from a ATM and next to a lovely square where there are a couple of places to eat ( a bit pricey but a nice splurge). Despite the lack of wi-fi in the apartment there is wi-fi in the shop below us and in the square next to where the accommodation is located. Also, it is about a 15 min walk to the train station if you decide to so a day trip to Cefalu and it is about a 15 min walk to the bus stop by Massimo Theatre (cross the square in front of the theater and once you cross the street there on the corner on your immediate left is the 806 bus stop to Mondello which is just fab and about a 20-30 min bus journey). In addition, if you decide to to go to the marina that is about a 10 in walk and there are loads of places to eat down the side streets there and there is a nice high street close by with some lovely shops if you decide to do a spot of shopping. In short, there is something for everyone. Finally, Mauro sorted out a great deal for transportation for me to get to the airport.
