Expect a great welcome - we arrived late in the evening so Federica provided us with a meal and bottle of wine.
So much useful food and basic groceries eg jiuce, coffee, milk, oil, vinegar, salt etc was in the house so we could easily breakfast the next morning.
Loads of space. Comfortable bedding etc.
Twenty minute bus ride into Palermo centre - easy most days but be prepared for delays if traffic holds up buses - or the kiosk runs out of tickets.
Palermo is great, loads to see and plenty of excitement. Just check out the guide books. Favoutites, outside of the obvious: Monreal - must see, even if a pain of a bus trip; Balero market. Lots more but info in guides.
