Very nice host and excellent location in terms of proximity to everything, walkability and public transit - but the place was tired and the "free parking on premises" statement was misleading since parking almost anywhere in Palermo is free except for the damage exposure to your vehicle and "on premises" meant anywhere you could find a spot on the street or sidewalk which might be blocks from the apartment. The patio was not very inviting in the winter because of its northern exposure when the sun was not high enough in the sky - and this also meant more heating of the apartment was necessary to make it comfortable.
