We couldn't have felt more welcome! We had a great time in Palermo, the apartment is situated right in the middle of everything, and was pretty easy to find. Maria was amazingly flexible and the place was comfortable and clean, plus there was an air conditioner which made sleeping so much better (hot and humid in July!) The roof terrace was great and we had a nice evening with views of the city and some great nero d'avola :) I will be back next time I'm in Palermo!
