Communication via Daniela was fast and easy. Google Maps did have trouble directing us to the restaurant under which the apartment is located. As you are driving up to Taormina, have a passenger look for the huge sign and the restaurant itself which is about 200 meters below the huge parking garage. The balcony is a nice place to sit and enjoy the view. Etna can be seen which is magical. The host will let you know this but you just walk up to the parking garage and take the elevator to floor #7 and you are in the town and able to explore. Parking is via the small drive next to restaurant parking with the private property sign. Easy to use once you find it the first time. All in all a good base for exploring the area.
