We enjoyed our stay very much. Accommodations were clean, no evidence or prior smoking, the kitchen was fully equipped, the apartment centrally located and the owners were delightful and responsive. Staying in a Taormina neighborhood was refreshing; we became part of the area during our stay. If there had been a view, the accommodations would have merited 5 stars. The view did provide an interesting take on the neighborhood and there was some sun - the french doors to the balcony were delightful.
