Ioara is a very friendly host. The communication worked very well. Ioara's flat is a small tidy apartment a 15 min walk away from the city center. You can park your car right in front of the flat for free. It was all clean and well equipped. The flat appears bigger on the pictures and there isn't a lot of daylight coming in, as the windows are pretty small. It works perfectly fine as a home base for being out in Palermo though. It isn't located in the best neighborhood, the streets are rather dirty and to my mind a bit scary at nighttime. But on the other hand lot of sightseeing spots are in a walking distance.
