My friend and I stayed with Margherita and then I stayed again with her on my own. Her apartment is in a great location and we easliy walked to all the main sites and could take the train and bus to the airport. Margherita was so welcoming and easy to communicate with. She is studying to be a guide and we hired her one day to show us around Palermo and all the local spots we would have missed on our own. You should def ask her to do the same. It was well worth it. I also feel like a gained a friend. Wish I was going to come back her again soon. This is a great spot for women travellers, especially those traveling on their own.
