Dario's place is super cute and super central - only 2 minutes by foot to the cathedral and very close to restaurants and sights. There's also a delicious bakery just downstairs where you can buy bread and delicious Caponata! The flat has a beautiful balcony with a stunning view over Palermo's roof tops. If you're very sensitive to street noise though, it may be a bit loud (at least in the summer with the windows open). I got used to it really fast and slept like a baby. :) Dario himself is super nice and friendly. I can only recommend staying at his place!
