If you are looking for a clean, quiet, centrally located, and budget-friendly oasis in Palermo, this is the perfect place for you. Maria was a wonderful hostess from the time I reserved my room through check-out. She provided detailed directions for getting from the airport to the house, greeted me warmly in the street, showed me where to find everything, lent me a converter for the electrical outlet when I lost mine, and recommended sites to see around the city. While I was there, I went to the market at the end of the block to buy cheese, salami, and fresh fruit and vegetables that I prepared in the kitchen decorated in authentic vintage style. The most memorable part of my stay was sipping my morning cappuccino on the rooftop terrace in the early morning light.
