Nino's place was exactly what I had hoped for! Simple living near the beach with accessibility to Palermo. When I arrived, the apartment was very clean and tidy. The AC in the bedroom made sleeping at night comfortable and the windows and doors to the terrace helped keep the common space cool during the day. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking which I took full advantage of. I will add that this part of Mondello is quiet and somewhat disconnected from the city center, however, you will find a grocery, about 5 decent restaurants, pharmacy, ATM, bread shop, gelato, all within a short walk. I recommend leaving plenty of wait time if you are traveling by bus to Palermo - they often dont follow their posted schedule and can be very crowded. The beach at Mondello is spectacular, although crowded in the summer. I recommend making a reservation for a chair with Italo Belga the day before to ensure you have a spot. All in all, i highly recommend Nino's place and would be happy to return!
