We enjoyed our stay at Franco's very much!
At first it was a little difficult to find but Franco was able to spot me from the balcony and direct us. Franco did not speak any English but had some translated information prepared in Google Translate which helped. Otherwise he was very helpful and a good host!
His apartment is 1 minute from the main strip in Palermo, super convenient! We found it great to pop back during the siesta times and catch a nap or relax away from the heat. Having such a close stay was a god send.
The apartment was very clean and everything we needed was there. Only thing is the shower is small (keep in mind if you are tall/big) and the stairway can be difficult if you have a big suitcase like us.
Overall, it was a great stay and we would happily stay here again if we return!
