The apartment was exactly as in the pictures and it was very well equipped (the only thing missing was a baby chair for our baby girl).
The apartment is very well located in terms of walking all of the old town of Taormina just on the other side of the arc. The funicular (‘funivia’ in Italian) for landing at the beach was also just a short 10-minutes away.
The best thing about the booking was our lovely host who drove to the other end of the town by car to show us the way to the apartment and a free parking spot just another 10-minutes walk away behind the apartment. She was so sweet to show us the way and drive us all the way back with our little baby girl. Finding your way in a rented car in Taormina can be difficult with traffic and the streets going up and down when Googlemaps is not showing the correct direction. Infact you just have to drive to the arc of the main street and pass through before not being able to miss the apartment going up the small street to the left before being able to turn easily at the parking spot right after the apartment.
The negative thing about the facilities was that the picture of a swimmingpool is the neighbouring hotel which can not be used. For the amount of 10 euro per person, the guests can buy entrance for another hotels swimmingpool than the street, which we didn’t do.
The terrace was lovely and big although it was not the most sunny part. I guess the shadows of the other apartments is lovely in the summertime - but in the beginning of october a little bit more of sun on the terrasse was my only hope... :)
