Angelo was an amazing host, he arranged to have us picked up at the airport and his friend Ugo gave us a full history lesson on the drive from the airport. The fridge was stocked with fruit, water, juice and tea/coffee facilities were also available to use. The apartment is gorgeous and the medieval entrance was beautiful to look at and functional as it keeps a gate between the masses and you when on the patio. Everything from paintings to furniture was great, beds comfortable and things clean.
BUT - if there is one thing to know about the apartment is that it is directly between two squares which are party town. Angelo explained that these bars and nightclubs that "pop up" after 11pm are all illegal. So they make a lot of noise - to the point where sleep between 12am-5am isn't really possible - so you just have to laugh. We found the charm in it, but don't go expecting a peaceful sleep. 😂
Angelo is kind enough to provide earplugs, though, and the noise should in no way deter you from staying with him when you visit Palermo. The people with the fruit stall next door are very friendly as well - all part of the Sicilian experience.
