Alberto is such an awesome host! We could not have asked for a better stay in Palermo. You have to stay here, there is no better place and no better host than Alberto! He gave us his own map of the city marked with all the best places to go and things to see, he recommended the best restaurants and cafés, and he was always quick to respond to us should we have a question while out on the town. Note: Palermo is not a quiet city! If you have trouble sleeping through noise, you better bring ear plugs. In addition to regular city sounds, there was a lot of loud construction going on during our stay. (We ended up staying in a different room with a window to the street, so this room may be quieter!) Either way, we had an amazing stay. Can't wait to visit again!
