Antonino's place made a truly wonderful nest amid the lively bustle of Palermo. It was so homey and spacious, with an inviting, flower-adorned terrace, that I ended up spending two days, out of my one-week stay, just relaxing there and working on my fiction project. I have to say that Antonino is the most thorough, savvy, and best-organized host that I have encountered so far in my Airbnb experiences. His place is restful, comfortably air-conditioned, full of pertinent travel information, and very centrally located (just around the corner from the Zisa, the medieval Arab palace), and not far from the cathedral, the royal palace, the Teatro Massimo, the antique flea markets, and several key city sites. Antonino and his daughter gallantly picked me up at the bus station and had prosecco, Sicilian sweets, and delicious specialties waiting for me when I arrived: the height of hospitality and class!
