I spent an amazing week at Rita's beautiful apartment. The location is ideal - you open the living room doors to a balcony that looks right over the sea. It's a very easy, short walk to beaches, shops, or public transport. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable. I didn't use the kitchen, but it seems well outfitted.
Before my stay, Rita was very upfront with me about the wifi (which I appreciate, since I had to do some work). Though my devices all connected, it was basically non-existent. However, I was able to get online easily at nearby Lido Europa, Bar Italia, or the library.
I didn't meet Rita, but she made check-in very easy. I love the neighborhood and am glad I decided to stay close to the water and just day-trip into Taormina (instead of vice versa). I always felt safe, even walking alone at night. Great stay!
