Giovanni has an amazing apartment (or actually several) in his family house in the center of Palermo, where we stayed.
It shows, that he works in the fashion industry and likes collecting retro furniture. Our apartment was all the way through furnished in 50’s style. Very elegant. So, if you want to stay in the absolute hip center of Palermo with bars and nightlife everywhere, you like interior decorations and retro stuff, this is the place. There is no television or dish washer. We liked this and it fits with the style. But if you want a very quiet place and fitted with a dish washer and television, choose another location in the suburbs with no personality… Although Giovanni does not speak English, Google Translate works and he is very helpful and accommodating, living in the same building and offering drinks to guests at the local trattoria in front of the house...
We give him and his apartment(s) the best recommendations.
