Marcello is one of the most thoughtful hosts I’ve ever encountered. Everything about my stay with him was easy and felt like I was staying at a friend’s place. From the start communication was great, Marcello sending along very detailed travel notes for not only Palermo but the island, and check-in was a breeze - he spent some more time going over a map with me, helping me maximize my short stay. I was a little disappointed FOR my short stay as it truly was a very comfortable place for me, both “at home” and exploring. I knew I wanted to spend my time in and around the historic district and he is in the perfect spot for day and night. Also, the apartment is quiet in the evening, even with the balcony doors open...with my freshly laundered (thank you for the washing machine!) clothes hanging from the clothesline. Would absolutely stay here again.
