Location is great for getting to all the main areas of Taormina - the cable car (runs every 15 mins) is right opposite so you can get to the beach in about 5 minutes. Apartment is pleasant and functional. Balcony is excellent - if we had more days and better weather would have made more use of it. Parking is available but the host showed us where we could park for free - as we had a rental car that was fine. For loading and unloading it is best to agree a specific time to check in as the street is busy and there is not much space. A few minutes walk and you are right in the centre of Taormina. You are also not far from 2 good butchers for some quality meat if cooking in.
