First, I did not enjoy Palermo at all because I was driving and it has to rank as one of the most difficult places to drive in the world for a newcomer. Street signage poor to non-existent, one way streets suddenly after going in opposite direction, parking chaos, etc.

Must have misread facilities because I was told 5 people shared one bathroom. Alberto offered me his friend's place with private bath and refund my original cost less airbnb fee. Fair offer. Decided to stay the one night.

Alberto did everything he could to make things pleasant but we had scheduled a walking tour but guide only spoke Italian and another girl than had to translate into English. Taking more time than I wanted and ended tour after two stops. No charge but frustrating for all. Lots more problems in city not Alberto's fault. Did not like food at recommended cafeteria. Only time in Italy that I had disappointing meal so far. Even leaving city took over an hour to find correct streets.
