The apartment was very clean, comfortable and spacious - excellent value for money! We had everything we needed as the apartment was very well-equipped. If you are sensitive to noise, I suggest bringing ear plugs as Francesco & Liliana have a dog who barked quite often (they live in the apartment downstairs).
As many of the other reviews mention, the apartment is on a steep hill and it was very tiring going up and down to get the city centre. We are in our 30s and found it tough, so we wouldn't recommend the apartment for anyone with mobility issues or young children. If you rent a car or bike in Taormina, it'll be a lot easier than walking everywhere (like we did)
