Barbara and Marcello are super nice hosts (as well as the neighbours who gave us home grown fruit and vegetables as gifts and their lovely daughters). The apartment is very spacious and is quite well kitted out with Wifi/Aircon/Cooking etc. The garden is lovely and big.
Really, they could not do any more to help us, it was lovely.
Carrefour Supermarket is 2mins away, however the only negative is the paths around the local area which are very poor, so I would advise going by car if you intend to use this as a Mondello Beach base (especially if you have a baby buggy). The 85 bus (free) is random at best and stops early so the walk back at night you have to use the side of the road, which isn't ideal. But this was the only issue, so if you have a car or don't have a baby, your good to go!
