Mauro welcomed us very friendly and really took his time to introduce us to Palermo. He gave us nice tips about markets, places to eat and must sees. The apartement is lovely decorated and the bed sleeps good! And we were very happy with the airco, because Palermo is hot in August. I read in other reviews comments about traffic noise, this recently changed because they closed off the street for almost all traffic. So it's actualy very quiet for a location in the middle of the centre. The location is very central and we enjoyed walking through al the old neigbourhoods and dropping by our place for al little siesta in the afternoon.
