Giovanni is a very kind and helpful host from the moment you book. The apartment is exactly as described in the advertisment and pictures. It is on the fifth floor with a splendid view on Taormina and it is in the proximity of the beach, supermarket, city centre and the highway Messina/Catania. Ideal starting point for people with a rental car (incl. parking lot). Only minor remark is that during high season you may have to consider the possible nuisance due to the fact that the walls are rather thin (old building but the apartment was recently renovated).
In short, if you're looking for a good price/quality offer you've found it.
