Francesco is a great host - responding quickly to messages, organising to look after my luggage on early arrival (on ferry) and providing a warm welcome. The flat is spacious and in a safe neighbourhood for solo or female travellers - 10 mins to the centreof Palermo and 2 mins from shops, cafes, supermarket and restaurants. There are facilities for simple cooking and a little balcony overlooking street. Airport bus (book online) is a 5 min walk away. Oh, and the ceiling mural is lovely. Great stay.
