if you have any imagine of your perfect host, most probably you're thinking exactly of Alberto...or no,cause he's beyond belief!
Actually, renting a room at his flat is a full-service, deluxe city experience pack!
I prepared for the trip reading tripadvisor and guidebook, which is correct, but lame - only Alberto told me info and curiosities about the history of the city I wouldn't have known otherwise, and explained EVRYTHING even without being asked! Started with explaining the map,and as I am very bad with spacial orientation, he literally brought me to the best places to eat (which is close as he lives in the proper centre), and later served me the absolutely unique evening party-tour around Vucceria. He's a great and polite gentelman and you can see he is a natural born guide - even his sweetest, calmest dog Barbie shows that!
Quite often people, and especially guides who have a lot to do with tourists on everyday basis get tired of them - not Alberto, he is full of enthusiasm and will treat you like the most welcome friend in the world
