We had a great one-night stay in Christian’s place. He was very friendly and gave us tips of where to go. The apartment is lovely and close to the beautiful sites of Palermo. There was some street noise, as you’d expect in a city, but Christian thoughtfully provided ear plugs. It was not a bother for us as Londoners. The only slight problem was parking. We were doing a road trip of Sicily so needed to park the car. We parked where Christian said over email, but there was a guy on the street trying to tell us different information and guiding us into the wrong area. If you need to drive, (and don’t speak Italian) it would be worth talking to Christian about it beforehand. However, if you’re only staying in Palermo there’s no need for a car! Everything is in easy walking distance. Christian also recommended a great restaurant for us. I’d happily stay in the apartment again! It was beautiful.
