Staying at Alberto's place was grand! Excellent communication and great tips and info for Palermo. Lovely appointment and room. Clean, tidy, well equipped, spacious and comfortable. There was even space at the entrance of the building for my bicycle (as Im travelling with it). Close to bars, restaurants and attractions. Regarding noise, it's quite as most people say, (since people are passing by to go to bars/restaurants that are closed by) ... but not something extreme or annoying. I totally recommend it and stay again if ever back to Palermo. Grazie mille ... arrivederci :)
