Some days prior to my arrival, Luca advised me that there was a problem with the apartment in the listing which meant that it was not suitable for hosting guests. As a result, he substituted the apartment for another one, also very close to the center of Taormina (it was only a short series of steps above the main street, as Taormina is built on hills and terraces above the coast). The apartment which Luca provided was very comfortable and contained the same features as those on this listing. Consequently I was very satisfied with the accommodation.
Luca himself is a helpful person, and I appreciated that he provided plenty of suggestions for where to eat, as well as how to access local public transport.
