Massimo is a very friendly host willing to make your stay in Palermo a wonderful experience. He warmly welcomed us and has made us a cold syrup, showed us the places to go and the places to eat. His apartment is very charming and in the heart of Palermo, so you can reach all attractions easily within 10-15 min by foot. The old building is in the middle of the market so you have fresh food next to your door or you can have a walk there. If you stay at home it can also be sometimes a little downside because of the noise. The apartment has also a beautiful view and has all facilities that you need. Unfortunately it has no elevator and for older people it could be a problem because it is on the 3rd floor. But this is normal for older buildings in Sicily (or Italy in general).
Overall we had a very nice time in Palermo and we are happy to have met Massimo.
