Marjolein was a great host. We rarely stay with people (usually rent an entire apartment for ease), but no complaints or inconveniences at all. The room is large, the kitchen and bathroom are well-equipped, and the roof terrace is exceptional. We spent every morning up there for breakfast before exploring Palermo - all areas are easily accessible by foot from Marjolein's place!

The only downside: While not at all a reflection of the apartment or Marjolein, we got slept very poorly in Palermo due to the incessant honking, screaming, and incredibly loud music from passing cars on the street outside the house. It was really crazy. Therefore, those who value beauty sleep, may want to stay outside the center in a quieter neighborhood!

Travel tip: Make sure to check out the Punto Pizzo Free shop around the corner and have pizza at Palazzo Trabucco (both quite nearby). Nico, the guy who stands outside and ushers people in, is super friendly and will try to greet you in whatever language he thinks you speak :) He even knew some Dutch!
