We had an excellent experience at Ali’s place. With a great location in the old city, the apartment sits above the ever lively and entertaining fruit and fish market. The living room is spacious with comfortable sofas and a nice decor. It has a large rustic dining table but we most enjoyed sitting on the balcony, enjoying the evening Palermo breeze and watching the activity below. The bedroom has ample storage and a comfortable bed. The bathroom is huge - and has an excellent shower. The galley kitchen is extremely well organized. Ali has thought of everything - from a bag to hold the dozens of bags you will collect daily, to a washer and even a dishwasher. Ali’s father, Domenico, was the first Sicilian we met when he picked us up from the airport. He was warm and kind and gave us a wonderful impression of the Sicilian people.
