Carmelo is definitely a super host. He was very attentive and timely to our needs. And, very generous in welcoming us with a bottle of wine, fresh pastries, bottled water, and assorted teas and coffee. The flat is in a great location for walking in Palermo as well as excellent location for taking the bus to or from the international airport. The size of the unit is spacious with the exception of a galley kitchen but very nice to have an oven and a washing machine. The unit is somewhat dark and out dated but apparently Carmelo has plans to renovate very soon. We would highly recommend Carmelo and staying in his flat!
