We got in late at night into Palermo airport and were able to quickly get to Francesco's place where he graciously was awaiting our late arrival. The place was a very gorgeous- all new updates with accents of the beautiful old structure. It was a short walk to city center, where on a Friday had a surprising amount of night life. We slept very well in a comfortable bed and in the morning Francesco suggeted some local stores where we could get a correct adapter (Italy had a different connection than France, to our surprise). Great stay!
