Francesco's home is a real home. It is filled with light, with art, with so many details that made me feel instantly at home. The space is very well kept, clean, and as a single woman in Palermo, it and the area felt perfectly safe. There is a great bodega at the building entrance that is almost always open, which is great for convenience and for safety too, as the persons of the neighborhood are very kind. But it's of course Francesco that brings the warmth and fun to the apartment; he's a terrific host.
