Renato (and neighbour Patricia) were very welcoming and I immediately felt at home in this lovely light filled apartment. The location is perfect with the market at your doorstep (and the other markets a short stroll away). The terrace is a fantastic place to soak up (and escape) the buzz of Palermo. I did have some issues with internet access in the apartment so if you're depending on this (I was) check to make sure it's back up and running. Renato was very good at communicating the issue with me which was out of his hands. Overall excellent communication and the experience was a memorable one. I recommend a stay at 'books and terrace'.
