Great communication with Salvatore, especially helpful on ZTL status, which made for a less stressful drive. His lovely mom welcomed us with a delicious homemade frittata, antipasto of cheese/sausage/olives and pastries. The apartment is in an excellent location to explore Palermo, walking distance to restaurants and sights. Parking the car in front of the apartment was a bonus. Area has a wonderful local vibe and can get a bit noisy at times, but with earplugs it's not a problem. Casa del Monte had everything we needed - perfect for our 2 day stay. Highly recommended!!
