This is one of the best Airbnb’s to stay in anywhere. It’s your own beautiful apartment home with a spacious terrace for both eating and lounging that provides breathtaking, panoramic views of Mt. Etna, the bay and the city that are superior to 5-star hotel rooms in the area costing 1,000 euros or more per night (check it out). On top of it all, Gianfranco is a great guy, a true Superhost who loves tailoring your experience to suit your individual desires, whether it's guiding you to the best of Taormina or just leaving you to enjoy things on your own. As for the steps, we quickly got used to walking down and returned by taxi for 10 euros. We also connected up with a taxi driver you could call on whats app who would pick you up at the apartment and take you down for about the same. No steps. If you’re lucky enough to find this place available, grab it.
