Sven's apartment was perfect for us - a great location in the beating heart of Palermo, cool in the hot summer, loads of space, and with a both a balcony looking over neighbours playing twinkling guitar and access to a rooftop terrazzo with one of the best views of the city you could ask for.
He was very nice and we had no problems whatsoever, we could not recommend more highly. In particular I will always remember the terrazzo - you access it outside the apartment, via a series of steep stairs - which gives a stunning 360 view of both the sea, the mountains, and the city's many churches. Perfetto!
