Excellent apartment and great host! As we drove to Taormina, the host picked us up by the Autostrada and directed us to the place. The view was spectacular!
The apartment is very close to the city centre, but far enough away to not hear the noise and be stuck in the crowds.
Its a steep climb up from the city centre to the apartment, but we viewed this as a bonus (forced exercise!)
Alll in all, a wonderful stay. Highly recommended.
