The best place you could hope to stay in Palermo: Alberto offers warm, friendly, and enthusiastic insights and tips on how to get the most out of the city(and avoid tourist traps), and was available for assistance continually throughout my stay ithout ever being intrusive - the perfect host! The apartment itself is in a fantastic location, it's easy to reach everything on foot, and I felt completely safe returning alone at night to the area. It's also super clean with floors cleaned daily and housekeeper coming several times a week. Just to emphasize a clarification made by another reviewer: Alberto has two friendly dogs but for those of you who are not dog-lovers, they are only allowed in his apartment so don't be put off by this; I have visited the Palermo before and stayed in hotels&bnbs and staying here gave me the best, most authentic experience of the city I've had. Grazie mille Alberto, I'll be back.
