First I'd like to say Maria was an excellent host, always available, helpful and very quick to respond. Her restaurant recommendations were terrific. We are at Bisso. The location is terrific, close to all the most important sights and all the action. My husband and I walked everywhere during our three night stay. The previous week we spent 1 night In Palermo to see the opera and stayed in a 4 star hotel at more than 3 times the price I would say that Maria's place was much more comfortable and a much better value.
