If you're looking for an original and intimate Palermo stay, you're definitely right at Marcello's. The flat is freshly renovated and avails of all basic amenities, as well as a few extras. It is easy to find and orient yourself in the neighbourhood (a charming mix of residential and commercial uses), which is very close to Old Palermo and its fanfare but follows its calm, quotidian rhythms. The icing on the cake is without doubt Marcello, whom I found to be a friendly, helpful, warm host and an amazing guide to the city. I certainly recommend this place!
