The host: Prior to and during our stay, Andrea always replied to my messages very quickly always giving helpful information. He even sent us a map with the parking lots (paid and free) circled when I asked about parking. (I was there during the weekend so I was able to park nearly right in front on the street.) Andrea greeted us and showed us around the place. He had stocked many wonderful items such as drinks and snacks in the large fridge and there were other thoughtful items such as slippers. Andrea obviously works hard to make sure that guests have a great stay.
The apartment: Andrea's place was impeccable, sparkling clean and very stylish. The beds were comfortable and the shower worked great. It is fully equipped with everything one would need. The location was very central. It was nice to be steps away form the excellent archaeology museum, the wonderful market, the Opera, and a multitude of restaurants, cafe's, bars, and shops (the neighborhood especially comes alive during the evening) while having a very peaceful and quiet residence to rest. The apartment was remarkably sound-proof. Above all, everything was of very high quality. We enjoyed the stay so much we would only want to stay there next time. In fact, we would check Andrea's place for availability first before planning a trip to Palermo. Thank you, Andrea, for our great experience in Palermo.
