We had a fantastic stay at Mary's place!
Everything that Mary could have done as a host was great: the waited for us when we arrived, provided a lot of tips about local places, was very approachable and communicative.
The house itself was incredible: clean, beautiful, well equipped: there were even ingredients in the kitchen such as oil and salt, as well as milk and a bottle of wine were in the fridge when we arrived.
Finally, I want to point out the absolute amazing location of the place. It's in the old part of town, along a quiet street. Every time we were looking for a must-visit place on the map, it was somehow nearby, so it's situated perfectly. The best coffee place in town called Bar del Corso is just by the port, the Vucciria market is as well, and so is the local favourite restaurant Trattoria al Ferro di Cavallo.
The train/bus station is only 12 minutes away. An hour on the train will take you to Cefalù and an hour on two buses (101 and 806) will take you to Mondello beach.
Thank you again Mary, we have had a relaxing week we so needed!
