I have a reserved opinion concerning Gabriele's apartment. The apartment is very clean and tidy, well organized and contains everything we needed. But in the same time, we found the bed too soft (having back pain, it's not the best), and there are a lot of noises in the neighborhood at night (loud music, car alarms going off, several dogs barking) that prevented us to sleep well.
That said, Gabriele and his family are very friendly. We had trouble finding the apartment so Gabriele called us and helped us find the right path. His mother welcomed us in the apartment and was also available should we needed anything.
We had a car (and parking slot is available 50m from the house). The apartment is close to the stunning Mondello beach, and also close to the autostrada, so it was easy to move and visit in the area. And of course, Palermo is also very close.
So to conclude, we had a good time, but left tired. :)
