Carmelo is a very helpful host, he welcomed us with a bottle of Sycillian wine and some delicious local pastries. Simple qestures such as milk and filtered water in the fridge, plus a supply of tea and coffee makes a difference. There was good tourist information avaliable and details of local supermarkets etc.
The location is perfect for shopping and night life with easy access to tne ferry to Naples.
As one who cooks a lot, the kitchen was one of the best equipped ones I have come across. The only down side was it was on the enclosed balcony and so therefore very narrow and quite hot.
Overall though it was a great apartment for a stay Palermo.
