the apartment is beautiful! living arrangements are excellent. excellent location for food and transportation! the host was extremely accommodating. I was surprised that the apartment had a/c which was not in the listing. I felt welcomed and safe. I enjoyed our conversations and we even went to excellent restaurants around the city together periodically. she has excellent recommendations for food as I am a vegetarian. the local vendors and shops on her street have everything a person could need with their stay in Palermo. excellent value! highly recommended!
