As a family with one child we enjoyed spring and eastern for 11 days living in Giovanni´s Apartment. It really became our home for that time - and the day we had to leave was really hard leaving all these nice people we got to know back. Giovanni is a brilliant host, always available with lots of support - I just can join the things already written here. The apartment is as described - the garden a wonderful retreat when the hustle and bustle of the City becomes to much. The shops and street sale in the neighborhood offer everything you need including lots of interesting, generous and warmhearted people. The stay gave us a wonderful authentic glimpse of the everyday life of Palermo. Absolute recommendation!
