We travel a lot as a family and usually book accommodation on Airbnb but never before have we met such a lovely host as Vera. Nothing was too much trouble for her: she organised taxis for us, booked us tables at her favourite restaurants, sent us loads of helpful suggestions of what to do and what to see and was always at hand to respond to any queries. She was just a delight. And then her lovely flat: right bang in the middle of Palermo's historic centre, the Cathedral, Teatro Massimo, the Cappella Palatina, everything is just a leisurely walk away. The flat itself was spotless, designed in clean modern style and well equipped. We spent a perfect week there between Christmas and New Year and would happily return there on our next trip to the city.
