As we only had one full day in Palermo so Maurizio's apartment was perfect for us. It is right where you want to be in the centre of Palermo, near all the historical buildings and plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars. The apartment itself is exactly as shown in photos and as in the description (the ornate ceiling is pretty spectacular!). Unfortunately the floor of the balcony is missing so you can't actually go out on it, which is a real shame on a corner apartment as it wraps around both sides and would be a great addition to the apartment. There are railings installed inside the balcony doors so you can still open them and look down on the street-which has plenty to keep you occupied if you're a people watcher like us ;-) It's extremely well equipped with everything you could need-including a kettle and tea bags, a must for Irish people!
Maurizio was very helpful in explaining about things to see, leaving us lots of maps and answering all our questions perfectly.
He was also very understanding when we got quite lost on the night we arrived and kindly accepted our apologies for him having to walk around the block looking for us only to find us back at the front door of the apartment building, having managed to find it in the end!! Sorry again!
I'd highly recommend this listing to anyone for their stay in Palermo......you couldn't be in a better spot to explore the beautiful city :)
