Me and my BF stayed with Claudio for an extended weekend, early June.
We had a great experience and were very well received by Claudio, who supported us with lots of recommendations on where to eat, drink and shop in the close neighborhood. The apartment was very well located within walking distance of all interesting must-see areas of central Palermo. We even walked to central station and teatro politeama from where we took the train and bus for day trips to cefalu and mondello.
The apartment itself was clean and fully equipped while rather dark, facing into the courtyard. On the other hand it was cool and silent and perfectly protected from the city buzz of Palermo. Somewhat noisy neighbor dogs kind of limited the time spent on the balcony but on the other hand, one of the apartment highlights were the neighbor cats cuddling up together in an empty flower pot outside the kitchen window.
We had a great time and would absolutely recommend anyone to stay at Claudio's place!
