We spent 5 nights at Francesca's apartment and from the moment of booking, until our departure, Francesca went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. The apartment is spacious, well equipped and feels homely. We loved it! We enjoyed the terrace and were very grateful for the air-conditioning in the bedroom as it was 36 degrees most days. We loved the area of La Kalsa and were appreciative of Francesca's recommendations- definitely head to the markets (we did a food tour with Streety and the nearby 'Wonderful Italy' were very helpful), afternoon at Modello and visit the cathedral at Monreale, an aperol at Palazzo Butera and morning coffee at Cioccolateria Lorenzo. Francesca arranged pick-up from the airport for my sister and dropped her off on our last day, she was also very helpful on WhatsApp, stored our bags and let us check-in early. A super host! There are lots of useful leaflets in the apartment, food bits for cooking and it is spotlessly clean. I can't rate this apartment highly enough! Thank you Francesca, we will be back!
