I absolutely loved my stay in Marcello's beautiful loft apartment! My experience was totally positive: Marcello kindly accommodated a bag-drop off for me before the official check-in, which meant that I could begin exploring Palermo immediately. At check-in, Marcello provided a comprehensive overview of his inviting and well-equipped apartment, which features A/C, a lovely central area, a large bathroom with a washer (and some complementary toiletries, which was great, because I forgot my shaving cream!). There was also a fan in the bedroom, and the bed was very comfortable!
Marcello went above and beyond by showing me a detailed map of Palermo and the many sights to see; even before I arrived, he emailed me a couple of documents with extremely helpful information about Sicily and Palermo. After I arrived, he sent me a list of great local restaurants, and told me about different kinds of local cuisine and street food. The apartment is right by the main Cattedrale di Palermo, and within a few blocks of the main avenues for shopping, eating, and drinking.
I would recommend Marcello's apartment to everyone: it's a cool, stylish, and easily accessible home base from which to see all that Palermo has to offer, and Marcello is so kind! I had a wonderful stay and hope to return!
