Marco’s place is a great base for exploring Palermo, particularly is you have a car - you can park at the apartment securely for free. Marco made us feel very welcome, and made himself available at all times during our short visit. We do not speak Italian, but Marco was very understanding and we got on just fine with google translate. The apartment was in a quiet residential neighbourhood, and you’ll get a good feel for local life walking to and from the centre of Palermo (approx 30mins). Would definitely stay again!
