Giusy was incredibly friendly and welcoming and always responsive.
The house is extremely clean -- it feels like you're practically the first resident. The view is more impressive than the pictures show. You see the entire bay, including an almost 500-year-old tower. And behind the house, you see steep, beautiful hills. The smell of the area is also very fresh and Mediterranean. The property is also quite large -- it's virtually a plantation of olive trees, lemon trees, some orange trees, and there are also mint, rosemary, and other herbs grown. It was great for kids, since they can run around and play freely as much as they want. What's great is that it's 20min max from the Palermo airport, yet it's completely quiet. And it's such a great base to visit the northwest of the island. It all makes for an extremely relaxing place!!!

There were only two (related) downsides were (and both are beyond Giusy's control!):
1) It's a nuisance to bring the trash to a random bin by the side of the road, since the municipalities cannot manage garbage removal appropriately
2) one night (out of seven) there was an intense smell of burned something (we think it was trash) that made it impossible to open windows, let alone be outside.

However, having mentioned those minor exceptions, I would definitely return and still give it a strong 5-stars. My family and I loved it, and it's the best AirBnB we have stayed in!
