Giando's place was a very good choice and if we would go back in time, we would definitely book the same! The place looks exactly like in the pictures, maybe even a little better (the high-ceiling rooms make you enjoy the spacious place)! When we arrived, Giando welcomed us personally - some might think that is not such a big plus, but I'm telling you: it is a big plus. He gave us insights on things to see in Palermo (much better than at 2 tourist points I visited in Palermo), he had prospects for all the attractions and as a local italian, he made us very good recommendations for "places to eat/drink local". Our experience in Palermo was definitely a more authentic one due to Giando's recommendations. The place is very well located, next to Chiesa del Gesu - it is spotless clean and the kitchen is very friendly - we loved having breakfast/coffee/a glas of wine at the nice table next to the balcony.
Giando has a sense for details and he even surprised us waiting for us with cold drinks and a bottle of wine - e very nice gesture that we appreciated!
He is a great host, gives you infos on everything you are interested in related to Palermo, at the same time he is very discrete and does not invade your personal space. The communication was also a very good one (email/phone/whatsapp).
As a former tourguide, I'd like to rate this place with 5*. You get really good value for the money you pay, I highly recommend this place.
All the best to Giando & his future guests,
Nicol
