We had a fantastic stay at Alberto's apartment. Most importantly, this was an affordable accommodation option. At the end of a big European trip, we were in need of a cheap place to stay but didn't want to miss out on a great location. We weren't disappointed.
In the heart of Palermo's historic centre, you really get a feel for life in this ancient city. The apartment is on the top floor of a building and you're surrounded by the hustle and bustle of Sicilian life. It was clean and comfortable. The biggest asset was definitely the terrace....a huge space that we enjoyed several times including at sunrise after a big night on the town.
But the apartment is not the selling point here. The big sell were all of the amazing local tips from Alberto.
As soon as we arrived, Alberto was pumping us full of places to eat, drink, see and experience. On the first night we went to one of his recommendations and were surprised to see him there enjoying the night as well! His food recommendations were so good that we ended up eating at the same places multiple times...they offered well priced, quality food. And the best of Sicilian hospitality, obviously.
I have no reservation in recommending Alberto as a top host. If you want to experience the buzz of Palermo on a Friday night in the heart of it all...and would rather spend your time out in the city rather than locked up in your accommodation...then this simple, affordable option is for you. Thanks again Alberto!
