Alberto was one of the best hosts i've ever had! very helpful, warm and friendly - he offered to meet us at the train station on our first day to bring us to his home, and there, he did everything to make us feel comfortable. Alberto is a tour guide, so if you want to know the best places to go in Sicily, it's definitely a good idea to stay with him! he showed us places on the map to visit, and even brought us on a tour at night to experience what the Sicilian nightlife is all about. he was also always ready with suggestions of where to visit/eat. it was nice living with other housemates as well, who could be from anywhere in the world.

The downsides were the living conditions itself. The room/house seemed to be very chilly, despite the warm weather outside. our heater wasnt working at the start, but Alberto immediately replaced it for us before the night. it took a long time to heat up properly though, and if you tried to turn up the heat, there was a risk of power tripping.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay with Alberto. his great hospitality made up for the less satisfactory living conditions. he even had fruits and dried pasta and tea etc for guests, which was appreciated :)
