Staying in the heart of old Palermo was a fantastic treat, made even better by the care and thoroughness of Vito's assistance. He communicated with us before our trip and gave valuable assistance for traveling from the airport to the apartment, as well as assisting us in determining some of the experiences we would have in Palermo. I really appreciated getting his perspective on interesting/special places to see and activities to include. Because we visited over both Christmas and New Years, his assistance in identifying places to have delicious, typical Sicilian celebratory meals with Sicilians was spot on! We were able to communicate with him throughout the stay for any needed clarification. He was a GREAT host, I don't know how else to say it! The apartment was as it was advertised-a comfortable space with lots of stairs, lots of charm, adequately furnished, and very comfortable beds! The apartment was quiet, even though it was in the middle of a big city, and within comfortable walking distance to many of the must-see places. We highly recommend Vito as a host and this apartment as a comfortable place to stay.
