We (a couple) strongly recommend Massimo´s flat to stay in and visit Palermo. It is a cozy flat very well located in downtown and you will reach many of the tourist attractions by foot (e.g., less than 10 mins to Mercato del Capo and Massimo Theater), as well as pharmacies or a supermarket. The zone is also pretty safe - we had no problem coming back late in the night. Furthermore, the flat has all the necessary facilities - including a nice (and big) balcony.
We appreciate Massimo´s welcome. The communication with him was very fluent and straightforward. In particular, we truly appreciate Massimo´s advice about restaurants, tourist attractions, and general info about Palermo and its surroundings.
We are looking forward to coming back to Palermo and stay at Massimo´s flat.
