Alberto is a fantastic host from quick responses to great directions and being flexible about arrival. He offered a warm and friendly space. He even started the heater before I came back so I would have a warm room- gave me wonderful suggestions for how to spend my time in Palermo. His pups are great too and were only around when I asked to say hi. The neighborhood and location could not be more perfect for walking to everything. Stay with Alberto if you visit Palermo- you will be glad you did.
