Massimo's apartment is perfectly located in the historic part of Palermo, and an easy walk to many wonderful places to visit. The building is newly renovated, the studio-like apartment is cozy and charming for a couple, is very well air conditioned (Palermo is hot in August, needless to say!), and is close to the Capo market, where one can buy fresh produce, fresh bread and prepared foods, and soak up the local atmosphere. A real pleasure! The apartment is in a very lively area, and is a walk-up.
But one of the real highlights is the host, Massimo himself. Charming and helpful, and readily available any time you need him, he made us feel super welcome and really helped us enjoy our stay with plenty of information and tips on where to eat and visit in town. He does also provide transport to and from the airport for a fee, saving guests the extra work of getting a taxi or arranging other transport. He even helped us carry our rather heavy bags.
A truly enjoyable experience that I would not hesitate to recommend to others.
