We stayed with Alberto for just two nights but from the first time meeting him we wished we could have stayed longer.
He was very quick to answer our questions before arrival and once we were in Palermo he suggested local monuments, delicious (and cheap!) restaurants, and local markets. When we told him we were going to the beach he was even kind enough to give us a couple extra bus tickets he had and gave us enough information to get there without any problems.
The room itself was very large and the bed was nice and comfortable. The apartment was very well located. Close enough to walk to everywhere we needed to go to. The only time we used public transportation was to get to the beach. The bus stop was about a 15 minute walk and the bus drive was just as short.
