Very good location, 5 minutes away from the train station and via Maqueda- one of the main streets going to the centre of Palermo. Area around the place did get a bit scary at night though. Wouldn't recommend it for women-only groups. The place was clean and nice, the only problem was the shower leaking. We didn't meet the host (Maurizio) but Rosalia was very nice and easy to contact. The late night check-in was a huge plus.
