The apartment is not too big but sufficiently equipped. As Taormina is a popular and lively place you get some of the traffic and neighborhood noises. Claudio\Ernesto react to messages very quick. When you're by car (like us) be prepared you have to park it a bigger parking (€ 15 a day) at about 15 mins walk (including a lot of steps, which you'll find everywhere in Taormina ).
