Maurizio and his wife are lovely, kind hosts, with the perfect apartment for anyone wanting to stay in the heart of Palermo. The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable, with all the bits and pieces that make a short stay easier - olive oil, shampoo, coffee, etc. You're staying right in the heart of the market, where you can by any fruit, veg, meat and fish you need, very fresh and cheap. But the sounds of the market don't disturb your sleep. We loved the little terrace upstairs for an evening glass of wine. Highly recommend the little restaurant in the square across the road, for its great food and friendly staff. Maurizio and his wife kindly looked after our luggage on our last day and brought it to the bus stop to hand over to us before we caught the bus back to the airport, making it easy to make the most of our last day. Highly recommend.
