Sandro's flat was truly the highlight of our stay in Palermo. Every fixture and aspect of the place is well thought out for both functionality and aesthetics. The apartment is like a living art gallery, and I'm especially fond of the color choices for the wallpaper. The ambiance is vivid yet calming, and my girlfriend and I had much fun cooking, playing chess, or dancing in the living room spontaneously when a good song came on (he has a great classical collection too, by the way). I did not get to meet Sandro in person, but his mother and friend made sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful stay; highly recommend.
