Mauro is a wonderful person and host! He was very helpful and went out of his way to ensure that we had a nice time in Palermo. He gave us excellent advice on things to do and see. He brought maps of the city and even had two bus tickets for us to go around. His apartment is beautiful and centrally located. It was extremely clean and well equipped with the necessary amenities. I would strongly recommend anyone travelling to Palermo to stay here.
