Valentina was an amazing host. We had trouble getting to Palermo from the airport due to a mix up with our car hire, which delayed us a few hours - Valentina was very accomodating and didn't mind waiting for us. Upon arrival she was extremely friendly and provided a lot of great advice - every restaurant or bar she recommended was great value and delicious. During our stay she was very communicative and responsive to even the smallest inquiries we had throughout our stay. She also left lots of delicious food in the fridge for us to try upon arrival.
Her apartment is beautiful with a great view over Palermo. Most importantly it had well-functioning air con and a fan by the bed - given it got up to nearly 30°C even at night while we stayed there in July this proved to be essential!
Thank you Valentina, we hope we get to stay again!
