Alberto is a fantastic host! The room was exactly as described and pictured, and the environment of the apartment was very relaxed and comfortable. Upon arrival Alberto gave me a map of Palermo and showed me everywhere I should need or want to go, and even pointed out delicious food recommendations (the connolo Pasticceria Cappello is a can't miss)! Alberto and the other guests staying in the apartment were beyond friendly, it was great to talk to them about their travels. Tucked away on a quiet side street, the location of this apartment is central to everything someone traveling to Palermo for the first time would want to see. It's also a short walk to the train station or local bus stations for great day trip opportunities in Sicily. Mondello beach is a must! Alberto's apartment felt like home for my 5 day stay and I recommend anyone traveling to Palermo should stay here, you won't regret it. Grazie mille Alberto, I'll be back soon with my friends!
