I would say that the pictures don't do justice to Sandro's flat. It's a lot nicer than the photos show. It's comfortable, cosy and smells good. Everything is new and in good taste. The location couldn't be better: very centrally located and the neighborhood is really nice. If shopping is your thing, all the fancy stores are nearby. There'so a very good supermarket one block away and lots of restaurants. I had a rental car, but I never used it in Palermo. I walked everywhere due to the flat's central location. If you have a rental car, do use the parking space you can rent for an additional fee. It's very convenient, since it's always difficult to park in the Center. As for Sandro, he's a great, attentive host. When I needed to contact him, the replies were always prompt.
I'm not sure I would've enjoyed Palermo as much as I did if I hadn stayed there. I had a very pleasant week in the flat. I definitely recommend it. Thanks for everything Sandro!
