Staying at Gianfranco's apartment was the best decision for us and we highly recommend it. He is a perfect host, the flat is spacious, very clean, very well equipped and the interior has beautiful antique details and ceramic decorations - just lovely! This is the place where you want to come home to and relax after a long day of sightseeing or walking around.
The location is ideal if you plan to explore Palermo itself by foot and also the surroundings by car.
