Dario’s place was exactly as described. Central location a stone’s throw from Palermo Cathedral, small space with no air conditioning but very airy when the doors are open (and Dario was kind enough to provide a fan), and super clean. I was welcomed with a bowl of fruit, milk, juice, biscuits, and more, and Dario very kindly helped me carry my heavy suitcase all the way up the narrow stairs. The terrace was great and there was enough shade from the early afternoon onwards. Note that if, like me, you are travelling with a small pet (a cat in my case), the terrace is not safe for them as the space between the railings is wide enough for them to slip through. Dario lives right next to the place and responded to queries very quickly. All in all, the place is good value for money and Dario is a fantastic host.
