Marcello was a fantastic host, welcoming us at the apartment with lots of good information and recommendations about the area. The apartment itself was great, just as it appears in the photos and very well equipped and well stocked with things like bottles of water. The location a couple of blocks from the Cathedral was fascinating and it was great going to the local market to get breakfast. Absolutely loved Palermo old town - stunningly beautiful architecturally and unlike comparable European cities not overrun with tourists. Would not hesitate to recommend and would love to come back again!
