Our stay at Maria's flat was super. She is an excellent host and gave us a lot of useful information regarding markets and restaurants. The location is central, very walkable to many tourist locations. City buses are near, as is the train station. The style and decor of the apartment is very nice and stylish.
The flat is just as described, perhaps better. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Arranging a driver to bring us from the airport was the best option hands down. Driving and parking in Palermo as a non-Italian is impossible.
Best of luck Maria and thanks again.
