If Airbnb gave out an award for Best Host of the Year, Alberto would probably win it year after year. He is everything you could ever want in a host: friendly, hospitable, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about his city. He really goes above and beyond to help his guests not only have a pleasant stay, but to leave with an enriched appreciation for and understanding of Sicilian culture (and cuisine, which I could rant about for days).
His flat is very spacious and clean, and you can do laundry, which is a plus. Best of all, it's located right smack in the middle of the historical center, which means that 80% of the things you want to see are within a 10 minute walk.
I would've gladly paid twice or even triple the price for the amazing stay I had with Alberto, but luckily for us, he makes it super affordable, so there is really no excuse to not stay with him! Grazie mille, Alberto, I will always cherish my time in Palermo! :)
