Had an excellent stay at Nino's place. The location could not be better really, it's in the middle and close to everything: 1 minute by foot to Corso Umberto and its cafés and shops and plenty of restaurants, a couple of minutes to the funivia that takes you to the beach. 5 minutes from the main bus station and it's easy to walk from there to the flat.
The room is comfortable and surprisingly quiet, as it's facing away from the street. There is nice privacy as you basically have the whole floor to yourself and there is a balcony as well.
The breakfast voucher for each morning is really a great plus.
Nino is a nice and accomodating host: flexible and helpful, and knows Taormina well and can give recommendations if needed.
Highly recommended!
