Giovanni’s lovely apartment was well located in Palermo. We enjoyed strolling around the neighborhood and stopping in for a glass of wine at the bar next door. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. But the balcony, overlooking the courtyard my favorite part. We enjoyed reading there in the sunshine. He was very welcoming and flexible. The only small problem is that the apartment’s washer machine was broken so we couldn’t do laundry. We waited for the repair man but he never came.
