Antonio greeted us with a big smile when arrived. Prior to arriving in Palermo, he arranged a cab to wait at the airport and deliver us. He also assembled information on best places to eat and see in the city. This was our first AirBnb experience and didn't know what to expect, but Antonio was waiting for us on the cobble stone street, helped us with our luggage, poured us a beverage, and spent about an hour showing us the house and orientating us to Palermo.

The house is great. If you enjoy period details and architecture, you will love the house and the setting. The spacious loft style apartment has 19 foot ceilings and a massive solid wood door. It is decorated in a quirky fashion using folk art, vintage furnishings and antiques. We found ourselves photographing the house as much as we did in Palermo. We also stayed in and cooked dinner one night. The staircase leading the house is all marble with inlaid multi coloured marble patterns on the landings.

We really enjoyed our stay in Antonio's house.
