Francesco was very welcoming, super-friendly and nice. We even had welcome beer in the fridge.
His flat is just perfect place to stay long in Palermo. It is very cosy, big, bright and full of very good art (the wallpaper you could see on pictures are as well piece of art). The kitchen is good equipped with all needed things to cook. And Francesco provided us even with some additional as soon as we've asked.
The flat is situated in beautiful old building with marble stairs and lots of plants. The neighbourhood is quite quiet as for Palermo, lots of pizzerias, pasticcerias, supermarkets in just a few minutes walk, 10-15 minutes to Massimo Theater and all historical centre, famous Capo market. From the balcony you can see streets ending up with mountains.
Francesco helped us a lot with getting to know the city, provided with the city guide, invited to visit his gallery. He's very interesting person.
We've had great experience of living in Palermo for almost 2 weeks in Francesco's apartment and would highly recommend other people to stay there.
