When I knew I had to go to Palermo, I contacted some hosts, Giorgio responded within a couple of hours that same night, I made a snap decision to take Giorgio`s offer straight away and I do not regret it one bit. Wonderful, tastefully refurbished apartment with all the modern comforts one could wish for: from the dishwashing and coffee machines to a big comfortable bed. Giorgio went out of his way to prepare the apartment, leaving milk, butter, drinks in the fridge, coffee capsules for the machine, breakfast things to eat - you name it, all was there, even a welcoming bottle of his own wine! Thank you Giorgio - my friend and I enjoyed it greatly! Giorgio`s fantastic hospitality went so far as to pick us up from the train station and driving us back there the day we left (even though the apartment is in close reach from the station). All was absolutely perfect: host, apartment, location. What a way to set foot into a town, which we didn`t know at all before this trip. I hope to be back at Giorgio`s apartment at some other opportunity. "Grazie mille" for everything, Giorgio!
