Davide was an excellent host and the flat is clean and nicely decorated. We stayed with another couple and the arrangement of two bedrooms, with their own bathrooms, and a common kitchen/dining/lounge area worked very well.
The location, on the edge of the old town, may not be the smartest area, but Davide and his family are doing their bit to improve it by renovating the adjoining buildings. It is a great base for exploring Palermo and handy for the station to get to places like to Cefalu and Agrigento. There is a good restaurant just across the street and several more within easy walking distance, whilst there are many shops in the area for those who want to cook for themselves.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Davide's apartment and our visit to Sicily and found it better value for money than mainland Italy.
