We had a wonderful time at Alberto's place. Everything was as described. The room is very spacious and comfortable, and it has a wonderful balcony overlooking a small but bustling street. Alberto was very helpful with everything, easy to access, and gave us privacy. The hostel experience was very nice - everything was very clean and the other guests were all lovely.
But the absolute best part about the place is the location! So centrally located and close to everything we wanted to see. Just a few minutes from the ocean. There's an open area that turns into a nightlife hub across the street, full of street food, outpouring bars, and lots of people - so much fun. Surrounded by great restaurants and bars, wonderful nightlife, and beautiful artsy shops, this is where you want to be to get as much out of Palermo as possible. We loved our stay here and will absolutely stay again next time we're in Palermo!
