I chose to rent Davide's place because of all the great reviews. It is exactly as the pictures show. It is perfectly clean, it is close by to shops restaurants bars, shops etc. Davide and his family were so kind and so helpful. The airline lost our luggage and it was delivered a few days later when we weren't home, and Davide took the luggage from the courier and put it in our room. (With permission of course) His mother Giovanna made us something to eat to welcome us when we arrived. If we needed anything either Davide or his brother were quick to respond. All around this place was perfect. It is exactly as described. The bed is comfortable, they had extra blankets and pillows. The air conditioner is brand new and works perfectly. We were able to walk to restaurants, wine bars, bus stops. If you have an iPhone you can search for restaurants nearby. There are so many, and very close by. I recommend la galleria, just 200m from the room. I would definitely come back if I am ever in Palermo again. Wonderful!
