We spent 3 nights at Angelo's. He is a fabulous host! Very communicative, providing precise instructions on how to arrive at his place. The house is amazing, a totally remodeled interior, tastefully decorated with whimsy and attention to detail with comfort in mind. He very generously provided us with wonderful "nespole" and apricots, which were delicious, and a few essentials, such as a liter of milk, coffee, sugar, and some pastries. These were wonderful to have until we gained our bearings, and were able to buy our own. Angelo very generously gave my friend, who has trouble walking distances, a lift to the train station, which was absolutely marvelous. The house has pretty much everything you could need. It is ideally located to explore not only Palermo, but beyond to Monte Pellegrino, Monreale, and Mondello. The area is very lively even to the wee hours, but this is part of it's character. Enjoy it! During the day one has pretty much everything at one's doorstep: green grocer, butcher, general store, etc. Highly recommendable!!!
