Carmelo clearly takes his hosting role seriously. He was easy to communicate with and very responsive. He had detailed instructions for a smooth check-in since he was unable to meet in person. The apartment itself is in a great location and feels newly renovated, modern, spacious, warm, and clean. The galley kitchen is well outfitted and offers a great view of the surrounding area. The bathroom is spacious and full of light, with a rainfall showerhead. It was always nice to come back to this space after each day. The apartment is situated near many great locations (cafes, restaurants, bars, shopping, gelato, transportation). Also, the nearby 24 hour grocery store came in handy. Note, you can take the Prestia E Commande bus from the Palermo airport to the Politeama and walk to the apartment. Carmelo is definitely a super host as he was always available to assist. We enjoyed Palermo, and Carmelo's apartment was a big part of that.
