Mauro was a welcoming, generous and personable host with a fantastic knowledge of Palermo and its environs. He kindly took the time to mark places of interest on a map, without which we would have missed many beautiful churches and some super restaurants. He texted us to check how we were getting on, which we thought a kind gesture. His apartment is beautifully furnished and clean, and occupies a wonderful spot in the heart of Palermo's old town. All in all, a fantastic experience, thanks to Mauro!
