Sergio was an incredible host! We were in Palermo working on applying for dual citizenship jure sanguinis. He went way above and beyond, using his connections to help us move the process forward. The house is beautiful, well furnished, and in excellent condition. The few times we had things that needed to be fixed, he was often there within hours to take care of it. The location is wonderful if you don't want to be right in the key tourist areas, and pay their prices, and have an experience that feels more like small town Italy while being right next to all the tourist locations of Palermo. Street food and pasticcerias in the area were wonderful and cheap. You can generally double park on the street, and there's also a garage down the road. We found it was simpler and much cheaper though to get a membership with Amigo and just get a car when we needed one. There are also electric scooters available all over. The one potential issue to be aware of is that people's cars sometimes have loud music at night and the trash truck comes around midnight a few nights a week it seemed like. So, if you need silence before midnight, this might not be the best option. That said, we were there for five months and it kind of just became part of the charm. Highly recommend.
