We had a great stay in Mondello at Patrizia's place. Her son gave us helpful information about the place and the area. They live in the upstairs part of the building, and when we were looking for a knife to chop vegetables they were very helpful in providing us with one. The apartment was very well equipped. Very spacious. It is a basement apartment but you would not feel that it was. Area felt super safe. Parking was easy. Beach was nice and close. Thursday there was a local market set up on the street outside the building. We bought some fresh fruits and vegetables. The local vendors were super friendly! We had a great stay.
