Marika's home is one of a kind - so spacious, beautiful, soulful and truly artistic. And Marika is so kind, providing cookies, coffee, etc. and she gave us terrific advice for where to eat in authentic places. The location was great for visiting Palermo's historic center and close to the train and bus station. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Do visit Chiesa di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, go to the rooftop to see Palermo, and get the delicious dolci.
