Maria and her husband gave us a very warm welcome: a breakfast, a cup of lovely espresso and a lot of heartwarming smiles!
The appartment is a bit run-down on the outside but don't let that bother you, the location is wonderfull, right on the beach, we loved the view!
The appartment has everything you need; the bed is very good and comfortable, the kitchen ( althougt a bit basic ) has all the neccesary equipment, the shower is basic but comes with really hot water (too hot sometimes!) You can park your car close to the apartment. Giardini Naxos is a good starting place to visit various interesting things in the neighbourhood like Taormina and the Etna. (which you certainly should do!)
