The Host: Bianca is a truly lovely person. It's very easy to communicate with her, both language and speed-wise, she responds to messages instantly in good English :-) She's very kind, cheerful and patient - our flight was a problematic one and instead of meeting Bianca at about 22:30 - we didn't arrive until well after 3:00 am! Yet she still waited for us and with a smile took to her place, showed around and offered to pop in on the next day to give us some tips for the stay. She's very friendly - as we sat down together to look at the map and think what we could do in Palermo - although we've only just met her it felt like meeting a friend and I don't think I exaggerate here :-)
The Place: Bianca's apartment is a lovely, cosy place. Spacious, filled with colours, quiet, let's one have a good night rest. It was very clean and equipped with anything we might have needed. We felt very much at home there. Being able to have breakfast on the roof terrace, in the sun, was a great bonus. Location of the apartment is very good as well, in the heart of the old city, within a walking distance to really everywhere - lots of monuments and places of interest, as well as the markets (one of which is literally just next to the building). At first it might feel one will keep on getting lost in the fascinating maze of many narrow streets of the old city, but it's surprisingly easy to remember the way back home.
If visiting Palermo once more - we'd definitely like to stay at Bianca's Casa al Capo again and we'd definitely recommend staying there to other travellers.
