Mauro was a great host and had great recommendations for what to see and do in Palermo. We greatly enjoyed his recommendation for arancino at Bar Touring.

The apartment is in a great location, right in the middle of the old town, an easy walk from everywhere. No wifi, but there's lots of wifi in the square just around the corner - which also has a few cafes/bars to relax at. A very nice place to stay - a little noisy because it's on one of the main streets, but not so noisy that it was an issue.

We stayed around Christmas, and the streets and square nearby were nicely lit with lots of hanging lights and Christmas trees - very pretty!
