Anastasia was a wonderful host! Her roommates are friendly and nice as well. All were very welcoming. The room was fine and what I was expecting. The bathroom was fine other than the bath mat by the sink could really use a washing (not a big deal though). The neighborhood isn't the nicest part of Palermo but it is very convenient to the central station and to many of the tourist sites. There was a lively festival with food, music, and lights across the street. The darker smaller streets nearby seemed a bit sketchy to walk down alone at night. Overall a really great price and having welcoming friendly faces is a big plus.
