We stayed at Mauro's for a few days, and had a great time. We got there from Palermo Airport(PMO) by shared taxi (7 EUR/person). It was quick and without problems. The place is very central and within walking distance for most of the historical sites. It is a bit noisy before 11pm, which I guess is to be expected for the central area and we didn't mind as it got quiet enough by bed time. The shower has very good pressure, but I think there is a water pump on the roof or something like that and it makes a bit of a noise when it works. It took us a bit to figure out what the noise is, but then it didn't bother us. Communication with Mauro was perfect, and we found some recommendations for places to eat and drink at the apartment . Great value for the money!
