Cristina was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. She even surprised us with tasty regale and one rainy evening she rescued our clothes from the rain:) Her son was very nice too :)
The apartment was perfect, we lacked only knife, the cutting table (for our fruits and other snacks from the shoap or market) and maby a kettle (for morning caffe :)) But then we asked some of this things by Cristina :)
Sfferacavallo is nice and not so expensive place. By bus you can easy reach Palermo (in day time buses are full there) and other cities. Per hour goes only one bus to Mondello.
