Francis is a super host. He really made an effort to make sure we had a memorable stay in Palermo. He greeted us with bruschetta and a glass of wine and gave us cooking lessons each morning. Provided maps on city sights and bus routes to take to get around the area. The apartment is a nice size and location is within walking distance of all areas of historic centre. If you want to get bus there is a bus stop a few mins walk away for buses and free shuttle bus that goes round historic centre. Would definitely stay again when i am next in Palermo.
