Our experience while in Palermo was amazing. The flat that we rented from John was perfect. The space is well designed with an intimate feel. It is well equipped with all the ammenities that you would have at your own home. The two outdoor terraces are extraordinary with views of the surrounding Al Capo neighborhood and the rest of Palermo. We spent many evenings sitting on the terrace having wine and listening to the sounds of the neighborhood. The flat is in a central location and within walking distance to surrounding areas and tourist attractions. The longest it took us to walk anywhere was about 15 minutes. The location of the flat is within the heart of the Mercato del Capo / Food Market, and you have access to every culinary need to make a great meal: fish, cheese, fruits & vegatables, baked goods, meat, wine, etc. John was very accessible during our stay and he went above and beyond to help us organize trips to Mondello Beach and the town of Marsala. He was also helpful in arranging our transportation to and from the airport. Our stay in Palermo was beyond our expectations. I will definitely stay at John's flat the next time I find myself traveling to Palermo. You are guarenteed the genuine Palmeritan experience.
