Giovanni's apartment is wonderful, and we enjoyed our stay. The apartment is clean, spacious, lots of light, and there is a beautiful garden in the back with fruit trees and a swimming pool. Giovanni is a caring host, and he was available whenever we had a question. He provided us with a lot of information that helped us plan our time in Sicily. The location was excellent--near the water, with many outdoor fish and vegetable markets as well as a cheese shop within a few steps. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in Palermo and did not need to use public transportation to get there. We rented a car to see more of Sicily and were able to park in the back of the building. Giovanni is such a gracious host and we were fortunate to be able to share a meal with him at the end of our trip. I highly recommend this place!
