A more lovely, amicable, helpful, and willing host you cannot find anywhere. Not only was the apartment itself pleasant (large, clean, private, and perfectly located), but Maria went out of her way to guide me in Palermo as well as recommend things to do on my next days in Sicily. I was even privileged enough to meet one of her friends, and together we had a long chat about everything from school to world politics. Maria is smart, amicable, and open to her guests. What an incredible experience. I will, without a doubt, be back!
