Sitting at home now it all seems surreal. I wish I could put into words my stay in Palermo at Fabio's apartment... It was without question the most wonderful, memorable holiday I've ever had. Fabio was the most gracious host, even taking me to his sisters birthday party the night I arrived where I was greeted with open arms. He had groceries for me, took me all over the island and showed me around. He even organized and threw me a birthday party while I was there. All the while knowing and having a great sense of giving me my own space..I can't say enough good things about my stay in Palermo besides it was the best and I couldn't have asked for more. If your looking for a place to stay stop looking and stay here you will not regret it. Besides Fabio just being a wonderful person the apartment doesn't get 5 stars by everyone for no reason. It's safe, clean and classy. Right across the street from the first Cathedral of Palermo in the center of all the action but tucked away and quiet. Behind secure doors the apartment is conveniently on the second floor, don't worry there is a an elevator. There is a street market walking distance and a convenient kitchen with everything you need to cook your own meals. There's a washing machine that works great and 2 bathrooms. Everything you need. Extra comforters in the upstairs closet. I could go on and on. I will be back and when I do this is where I'm staying.
