Marcello is a great host!
He met me with a really cordial welcome in Palermo and recommended me a lot of beautiful spots to visit and even how to get there by bus.
Marcello is remarkably helpful with a brilliant portion of deadpan humour and at any time available on his mobile phone for all kind of "touristic” questions.
For me it was rather relaxing to spend my time in Marcellos' nice and comfortable loft that is fitted with all these little useful things you could miss during travelling.
All the places of interest you need to look within Palermo's picturesque old town are in a walking distance.
If you aren't looking for quietness right in the center of Palermo (and don't mind a view steps) it would be perfect place to stay…
