I stayed at Sandro's apartment for 5 days and it's the ideal place for exploring Palermo. It's located right in the heart of Palermo and you can walk everywhere - I found no need to take a taxi or public transport to go anywhere in the city. The apartment itself is spotlessly clean, well appointed and very spacious. There are plenty of places to eat and drink within a 5 minute walking radius and Sandro gave me a list of suggestions.
Sandro was the perfect host, very responsive and always ready to help. Communicating with him was very easy and he often responded to my messages within minutes. When I found that I couldn't get the air conditioners working in the apartment I contacted Sandro and he had the problem solved in less than half an hour.
If I ever return to Palermo I will definitely stay in Sandro's apartment again.
