This is a great place to stay in Taormina!
We arrived at the bus station which was just right in front of the apartment - means that you have a bit of noise with buses and tourists from the streets.
15 minutes away from the main street with a gentle uphill. We could have stayed more closed to the center but we rather stay close to the bus station so we don’t have to carry around our rolling luggages for next trip.
Maria lives upstairs so when you need anything she is easily reachable.
Only thing to be aware - she will ask you to pay for tourist taxes by cash 1 euro per person, per night. We stayed two nights so I paid 4 euros..so have cash on hand
Cons:
- little bit walk to the city center
- only basic kitchen tools
Overall, we were happy with our stay :)
