I really lucked out staying at Carmelo's lovely apartment. He left thee most wonderful bottle of wine. He was a fabulous host and I can't thank him enough. I will be back for sure. I HIGHLY recommend this apartment, very clean and comfortable. I was a lone female and I felt completely safe with three layers of security in the building PLUS everything was walking distance. Best tip I can give is go on one of the hop on/off Palermo tour buses great value for money and you get to see everything!
