We arrived in Taormina by bus from the Catania airport (about 1.5 hrs). We considered a car rental but found that bus service is good and suggest car rental only if a car is required for your itinerary. Pay parking is available but not easy. Anita was on site to meet us, provide a tour of the apartmentand answer all our questions. The unit is located in the centre of the tourist area with ready access to shopping, beaches, and buses. The apartment is cheerfully decorated and is exactly as pictured on line. There is an good assortment of cooking supplies, soaps, and paper for use. Light sleepers beware... the location is perfectbut load street noise goes late into the night... we recommend Anita's apartment.
