I can't recommend enough Lucia's place! It is a place which felt like home from the first moment we saw it. Vittoria's drawings add to the cozy atmosphere, making one feel as in a young Picasso exhibition. The flat is really big, sparkling clean and with lots of light. One has everything it needs in it, from stuff needed in the kitchen, to books about Sicily, about Palermo and even an Italian-Sicilian dictionary ;) Lucia did an amazing job in accommodating all our needs, sharing with us the history of Palermo, the hidden gems in the city (btw, you really have to go to Casa Stagnita for an amazing coffee) and taking care of booking a good parking for our car.
To add to all these, by luck, we had the chance to see/listen to the Pope while he was in a short trip to Palermo. What else can you ask more :p? Lucia was an outstanding host, by far the best host we met through Airbnb. Please, come to Palermo, stay in her place and get to understand a tiny bit of what Sicily is about!
